Computer Aided Drawing Office Practice (CAD)

LP_018_B: Module 1: Describe the hydraulics of a water reticulation system. Master the principles governing water flow in closed systems, including concepts like pressure head, friction loss, and the role of pumps and valves in distribution networks.

Why Enroll?

• Size Water Pipes Accurately: Use the Hazen-Williams or Darcy-Weisbach equations to determine required pipe diameters for target flow rates.
• Model System Performance: Understand how to represent pressure zones, demand fluctuations, and energy losses in CAD schematics.
• Specify Pump Requirements: Calculate the total dynamic head (TDH) needed to select the correct pumps for the system.
• Troubleshoot Pressure Issues: Understand how to analyze drawings to diagnose low pressure or excessive flow velocity problems.
