Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. CANETCO offers custom delivery for organizations that want to train multiple staff members together. Contact us to discuss scheduling and group pricing.

Yes. If your organization has particular equipment, systems, or applications you want the course to focus on, we can tailor the content to address your specific requirements. Custom delivery is priced based on the scope of customization and the number of participants. Contact us to discuss your needs and we will develop a proposal that works for you.

What fluid types are covered in the Piping Systems Design course?

The course covers steam piping, compressed air piping, fuel gas piping, water and hydronic piping, oil piping, and slurry and sludge piping - each with the specific design considerations for that fluid type.

How is pipe sizing calculated?

Pipe sizing involves selecting an appropriate flow velocity for the fluid type, calculating the required diameter, and then verifying that the pressure drop through the system is within acceptable limits. The course covers both the equal friction method and velocity-based methods with practical workshops.

Is this course delivered online or in person?

All CANETCO courses are delivered live online via Zoom. Participants interact directly with the instructor and other attendees in real time, with workshops completed during the sessions.

Does this course count toward PEO PEAK requirements?

Yes. This course is PEO PEAK compliant and the CPD hours count as formal core engineering learning toward your annual PEO PEAK continuing professional development requirement.
