Surface Area & Volume: Formulas In math (especially geometry) and science, you will often need to calculate the surface area, volume, or perimeter of a variety of shapes. Whether it's a sphere or a circle, a rectangle or a cube, a pyramid or a triangle, each shape has specific formulas that you must follow to get the correct measurements. We're going to examine the formulas you will need to figure out the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes as well as the area and perimeter of two-dimensional shapes. You can study this lesson to learn each formula, then keep it around for a quick reference next time you need it. The good news is that each formula uses many of the same basic measurements, so learning each new one gets a little easier.

Interpret Technical Drawing This Student's Manual has been developed by Blackline Design for use in the Manufacturing Skills Australia Courses.

Blacksmithing for Beginners: Creating Shop Drawings 1 Blacksmithing For Beginners - Creating Shop Drawings 1. This is the first of series of videos that describe how to layout sheet metal patterns from shop drawings.
Marking Lines on Steel & Aluminum for Different Fabrication Methods Scott shows off the different types of tools that can be used for marking metals prior to fabrication.
Piping Isometric Drawing Study How to read piping isometric drawing symbols
Welding Math: Deposition & Penetration - Part 1 Applying Math and Science in welding helps in understanding and solving welding problems. Understanding why a MIG wire melts provides the reasons why a key variable, like the distance from the gun tip to the workpiece called "stickout", must be kept in close control Understanding the magnitude of what variables cause changes penetration will show why increasing voltage, for example, actually causes it to decrease not increase! This will help in define what causes poor weld quality. Simple equations are provided to easily calculate these important parameters.
Welding Symbols This is a specialized module, which provides detailed knowledge about the different welding symbols used in welding industry (in drawing).

Constructions Calculations Manual Construction Calculations Manual provides end users with the calculations necessary for ensuring the on-time project delivery, within-budget projects. The proposed book will provide an owner, planning a construction project, with detailed calculations regarding site work, piping and pipe fitting, cost estimation, and overall project management.
Piping and Pipeline Calculations Manual: Construction, Design Fabrication and Examination Piping and Pipeline Calculations Manual, Second Edition provides engineers and designers with a quick reference guide to calculations, codes, and standards applicable to piping systems. The book considers in one handy reference the multitude of pipes, flanges, supports, gaskets, bolts, valves, strainers, flexibles, and expansion joints that make up these often complex systems. It uses hundreds of calculations and examples based on the author's 40 years of experiences as both an engineer and instructor.
