Manitoba Material 30 PDH Discount Package 1

This online engineering PDH course provides insight to the energy loss from an inadequate or uninsulated surface and discusses "how much" insulation is adequate on economic criteria.

Consideration of cost and conservation of fuel warrant a close assessment of insulation systems in the existing installations and new projects. Identifying the rate of thermal energy (heat) loss from an inadequate or uninsulated surface is the starting point for understanding the incentive for installing thermal insulation.

A thermal insulation thickness that satisfies an economic assessment of the minimal cost of owning and operating a thermal system is commonly called the economic thickness. The economic thickness pays for itself besides earning a return over its original cost. From this definition, any changes occurring in the prices of fuel or in the insulation cost will tend to shift the economic thickness to another value. Therefore the insulation levels, which were uneconomical in the earlier years, may be quite lucrative now due to drastic increase in fuel prices in the recent years. Based on the prevailing cost structure one has to review the entire insulation system and assess if additional insulation is necessary to achieve optimum economy.

This 4 PDH  online course is applicable to mechanical, chemical and process engineers as well as system design engineers working in power, P&C, refineries, fertilizers, metal & mining, manufacturing and engineering industries. This course is also intended for energy auditors, operational and maintenance personnel, health & safety personnel and loss prevention engineers.

This online engineering PDH course presents the basics of industrial coatings and metal finishes. It discusses common types of industrial coatings systems, basic principles in corrosion, substrate preparation, cleaning procedures and more.

The term “paint” which is used to describe a liquid or paste typically applied to a surface through a variety of application methods; provides a protective coating against corrosion, weathering, and other forms of surficial decay.

This online engineering PDH course discusses the properties and behavior of materials, including stress and strain, thermal expansion, ductility, brittleness, creep, fatigue failure and more.

The purpose of this course is to briefly introduce several material properties and failure modes. A better understanding of these failure mechanisms will enable more appropriate decisions when selecting materials for a particular application. Even a basic knowledge and awareness can help design engineers to be better equipped in delaying or preventing the failure of a material or component.

Some general causes for failure are structural loading, wear, corrosion, and latent defects. Because most engineering materials contain discontinuities most metal fatigue cracks initiate from discontinuities in highly stressed regions of the component. Failure can occur in systems with moving or non-moving parts. In systems with moving parts, friction often leads to material degradation such as wear, and collisions between two components can result in surface or more extensive material damage. Systems with non-moving parts are also prone to material failure, especially when certain types of materials operate over a broad range of pressures and are subjected to extreme temperature changes or to high energy radiation environments.

This 6 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical, nuclear and industrial engineers, design professionals, facility managers and operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the properties and corrosion of material.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the topics of metallurgy and metalworking.The course discusses the parameters, properties, metalworking processes, and identification methods of metal alloys. 

Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds, and their mixtures, known as alloys. Metallurgy is also the technology of metals: the way in which science is applied to the production and industrialization of metals, and the engineering of metal components for use in products for consumers and manufacturers.

This online engineering PDH course provides prescriptive requirements for the use of structural insulated panels (SIPs) in wall systems in the construction of residential structures. These provisions include definitions, span tables, material requirements, and other related information appropriate for use by engineers, home builders, design professionals, and building code officials.

The Prescriptive Method for Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) Used in Wall Systems in Residential Construction (Prescriptive Method) provides prescriptive requirements to facilitate the use of SIPs in wall systems for the construction of one- and two-family dwellings. By providing prescriptive provisions for the construction of typical homes with SIP systems, the need for engineering can be eliminated or reduced for most applications.

The online engineering PDH course addresses two aspects of metals. The first part of this course deals with the basic structures of metals and how those structures are affected by various processes. In addition, it contains information on the various imperfections and defects that the metal may sustain and how they affect the metal. The second part contains information on metal properties which are considered when selecting material for engineering design purposes. Each of these properties contains a discussion on how the property is affected and the metal's application.

This 7 PDH online course is applicable to structural and mechanical engineers, construction and design personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the structures and properties of metals.

This online engineering PDH course addresses the effects of thermal stress and thermal shock on a system. It explains how thermal stress and shock combined with pressure can cause major damage to components. This course also addresses ductile and brittle fracture. It describes how ductile and brittle fractures are affected by the minimum pressurization and temperature curves. It also explains the reason why heatup and cooldown rate limits are used when heating up or cooling down a system.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to structural and mechanical engineers, construction and personnel, technical staff and facility operators who are interested in gaining a better understanding of thermal stress and brittle fracture of materials.
