Fluid Fundamentals Training Courses are designed and taught by our engineers who have over 25 years of experience in piping system design. Our instructors are people who know how a piping system works and should be designed.
Our classes are designed for developing core competencies and essential skill sets, giving you the ability to take what you've learned and apply it directly back on the job.We partner with leading companies to give you unrivaled training. Engineered Software has collaborated with Crane Co. to provide you with the most comprehensive training you can receive on fluid and gas piping systems.
Piping System Fundamentals Courses
The Piping System Fundamentals training is a two-day course designed to give you the skills needed to fully understand fluid piping systems and successfully troubleshoot changes or additions to any piping system situation.Piping System Fundamentals uses a minimum of math formulas with an emphasis on understanding the relationships between components making up a piping system.
What to Expect
Well-rounded, Detail-packed training that sets the standard for excellence.
Sessions are on-target, full of must-know information for anyone who works in and around fluid or gas piping systems. This is a fast-paced program designed to present all major topics relative to the design and operation of the total piping system. The program consists of 2 days of full time instruction including concept theory, problem solving, system design, and exposure to the latest technology in piping design.
