Training on Plumbing

The Staff Development Committee of the Engineering Department organized a training program "Training on Plumbing” on 03rd April 2023, Monday from 10:00 AM – 12:00Noon in Electrical Workshop (B004) as a part of the effective and, safe utilization of laboratory Plumbing Equipment and Faculty skill enhancement.
The session was organized and demonstrated by the following team members: Dr. M. Muruganandam, Lecturer, Electrical Engineering Section, UTAS-Ibri. Mr. Ganesh Reddy, Lecturer, Electrical Engineering Section, UTAS-Ibri. Mr. Mohammed Abdullah AL Shammakhi, Technician, Electrical Engineering Section, UTAS-Ibri.
Mr. Hamed Saud Hamed Al khalili, Technician, Electrical Engineering Section, UTAS-Ibri. The team members explained and showed various tools, materials, and safety equipment used to develop and conduct exercises on plumbing. More stress was given on safety rules followed to do plumbing work. Team members pointed out the importance of measurements in the plumbing layout diagram and how to develop a plumbing layout diagram before going for practical implementation. All attended faculty members practiced joining PPR pipes with Socket, Elbow, and T joints with the help of the Plastic Welding Machine. Safety measures followed regarding how to use and connect the power supply to Plastic Welding Machines in Plumbing were clearly demonstrated. Team members helped them with how to make a sample Plumbing layout by using all plumbing tools and materials. The final developed layout was tested using Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Pump. The purpose and safety measures followed while using a Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Pump for testing a final Plumbing layout are demonstrated. The developed sample of the final Plumbing layout was connected to Hydrostatic Pressure Testing Pump and tested for water leakage in the pipe layout. All attended faculties showed very interest and practiced, how to use tools and accessories of plumbing equipment to do a simple plumbing layout diagram.
