Apprentices will use math formulas to calculate liquids in pipes, grades and slopes, and to complete roll grooves. They will learn the differences among architectural, engineering and metric scale rulers, and begin drawing basic shapes found in mechanical drawings using the architectural scale. Apprentices will continue learning about the components of hydronic and steam systems, focusing on pumps and low pressure boilers. They will continue brazing and welding, using a progressive model to track their skill advancement. Also, they will safely use devices, such as chainfalls and lifts, to move and measure pressure in the rolled grooves they fabricate.
