In every condition and in every setting, proper fitting installation and tube bending is hard to achieve. This course is designed to help you reduce your rework cost due to downtime and scrap, and increase employee safety in the workplace. Upon course completion, students will:
- Have a foundation tube fitting knowledge to minimize risk of leakage and ensure system integrity
- Know how to properly select, cut and deburr tubing, correctly assemble a tube fitting, and gauge a tube fitting assembly
- Make basic bends and understand how improper bends affect fitting performance
- Have overview of thread types and perform proper thread installation
How to mitigate and minimize the risk of leakage through proper inspection is important to us. Catching an improperly installed fitting or bend defect can mean the difference between a sound fluid system and a shutdown. Upon course completion, students will be able to:
- Understand the mechanics of how a tube fitting works
- Identify variables that cause fittings to leak or fail and understand the different types of leaks
- Identify tube fittings components and understand their importance to proper assemble
- Point out common tube bending defects and understand how they impact fluid system reliability
- Identify the different types of threads through design and markings
- Inspect installed fittings and determine if they are reusable or not
Consistent performance, especially in critical applications, is important to a successful system. This course offers foundational knowledge in cone and thread preparation and installation tailored to bring optimal performance to your medium or high pressure system. Upon course completion, students will:
- Have foundational knowledge in cone and thread preparation and installation tailored to bring optimal performance to your medium or high-pressure system
- Be able to list safety precautions when using the coning and threading tools
- Be able to describe medium and high-pressure fittings and differentiate the components between the two
- Demonstrate proper use of the coning and threading tool including tube preparation, inspection, and maintenance.
- Install cone and thread fittings
- Perform basic troubleshooting
