Student Learning Outcomes

  • A successful student will be able to layout and fabricate a round taper on a pitch fitting to acceptable industry standards.
  • A successful student will be able to layout and fabricate an ogee offset fitting to acceptable industry standards.

Description

Introduces a third of three traditional sheet metal pattern development methods. Concepts are applied to conical sheet metal projects. In addition, the ogee offset fitting, sometimes important in maintaining efficient air flow, is developed in flat and compound forms.

Course Objectives

The student will be able to:
A. Lay out and fabricate the fittings listed using radial line development to acceptable industry standards
B. Utilize the ITI industry calculator for alternative pattern lay out calculations
C. Calculate shear lists and pattern fabrication data for patterns developed with radial line methods
D. Apply geometric construction techniques to radial line pattern development

Course Content

A. Lay out and fabricate fittings using radial line development
1. Radial line lay out
2. Round taper on a pitch
3. Radial line roof jack
4. China cap with stays and stack
5. Ogee "S" offset
6. Drop ogee offset
7. Transitional cheek drop "S" ogee offset
B. Utilize the ITI industry calculator for alternative radial line pattern lay out calculations
C. Calculate shear lists and pattern fabrication data for patterns developed with radial line methods
D. Apply geometric construction techniques to radial line pattern development

Lab Content

Lab content includes practice of radial line pattern development techniques and verification of calculations on real sheet metal fabrication projects using these techniques.
