Gas Tech Trade Calculations

Part 1 - Gas Students should be able to identify select and apply mathematical formulas and processes to solve trade related problems. Using trade specific formulas students will examine problems associated with expansion of pipe, gas laws, simple and compound interest, investigate list price, discounts, markups and overhead pricing. Students will also calculate piping lengths for parallel offsets, rolling offsets and pipe offsets around obstructions. Calculations involving fluid flows and an advanced approach to heat loss will also be part of this course. Practical examples of building structures will be used to determine heat loss and duct design and sizing. Part 2 - Sheet Metal This course consists of eight weeks of training in trade related mathematics. The course material deals with a review of basic mathematical concepts as they pertain to the metal fabricating trades.
