Fluids Must Flow: Identifying and Selecting of Liquid and Gas Fittings
In this workshop, we will explore the world of liquid and gas fittings that are commonly used in the laboratory, in instruments, and in the infrastructure around us. Using hands-on examples, we will learn how various types of pipe, tubing, and interconnect fittings work, how to identify fitting type, how to measure and specify fittings, and where to find more technical details. We will explore in more detail the types of fittings most commonly found in the laboratory environment – particularly those used with chromatography equipment, cooling systems, and more.
When you complete this workshop, you will have a better understanding of the nomenclature and logic behind the variety of fluid fittings that are used in the world. You will also have a basic toolbox of digital resources to assist you in identifying the appropriate fittings for various applications you routinely face in the lab.
Reserve your spot in this workshop through BeAM’s Coworks app.
