Coastal Releases Pipefitting Training Series

Virginia Beach, VA (USA), June 2009 - Coastal Training Technologies has put a new training series for pipefitters on the market. It is designed for employees and students with little to no pipefitting experience and covers the most common piping systems in use today. Training participants will learn about piping joints, fittings, offsets, flanges, gaskets, and accessories, as well as how to measure pipe according to industry standards, thread pipe, and read piping drawings.



"Coastal's Pipefitting series was produced in direct response to customer request", says Dan McGonegle, manager of Coastal Skills Training. "On-the-job training and shadowing are often prolonged and expensive alternatives to gain the pipefitting skills required of today's workforce. As a result, our customers have repeatedly expressed their need for a quick and thorough solution to train employees and new hires on pipefitting techniques and practices."

The Pipefitting training series is currently available on DVD and will be released in Coastal's popular ClarityNet® HD online courseware in early June. Coastal's DVD delivery format includes content organized by learning objectives to facilitate classroom discussion and enable training administrators to cover specific training points. Coastal's ClarityNet® HD online courseware features pre- and post-testing, embedded questions, and interactive exercises.

The series includes the following 11 courses:

  • Introduction to Pipefitting
  • Piping Systems and Standards
  • Pipe Fittings and Joints
  • Measuring Pipe and Drawings
  • Offsets
  • Manually and Electrically Threaded Pipe
  • Flanged Pipe
  • Plastic Pipe
  • Accessories and Specialty Equipment
  • Tubing
  • Hoses
Dan McGonegle comments, "The Pipefitting series rounds out the Coastal Skills Training curriculum to make it a comprehensive training solution for the industrial workplace and schools". Other popular maintenance training topics include Fluid Power (33 training hours), Steam Traps (3 training hours), Power Transmission (14 training hours), HVAC&R (7 training hours), and Boiler Operation and Control (5 training hours).
