Special Piping Calculations

This online, interactive course is designed to familiarize participants with methods for calculating parallel offsets, areas, volumes, and liquid pressures. After completing this course, participants should be able to use right triangles and basic formulas to calculate parallel offsets using the equal spread method and the unequal spread method. They should also be able to use formulas to calculate areas, volumes, and liquid pressures.
