Exam 4: Civil Engineering Drafting and Piping

One of the broad classifications of fittings, ____, are appropriate in applications requiring that the piping systems occasionally be disassembled.

____ are like the plan and front elevation views used in structural drafting; they show detailed information, e.g., a road's thickness and other features.

A(n) ____ is a direction measured as a horizontal angle from a zero baseline that runs north and south.

In plotting curved data, the term ____ refers to the point at which the curve ends.

The construction estimating process is ____.

____ are used to restrict flow of liquids through a pipe in only one direction.

A(n) ____ is a system in which radio signals from satellites are transmitted to receivers on the ground allowing specific positions on earth to be calculated and placed on a coordinate system that can be global, regional, or local.

____ consist of schematic, symbolic representations of valves, fittings, and so on connected by a single line that represents the centerline of the pipe.

Performing quantity takeoffs for ____ projects requires making cubic yard calculations.

In plotting curved data, the term ____ refers to the point at which the straight line begins to curve.

Suppose a footing and foundation wall require 560 cubic feet of concrete. What is the calculation for the equivalent amount in cubic yards?

Suppose a project requires 39,302 pounds of steel for columns and beams. What is the calculation for the equivalent amount in tons?

____ is well suited for high-pressure and high-temperature applications and is frequently used in piping systems that transport water, oil, petroleum, and steam.

As part of a process piping system, a ____ is a mechanical device that causes liquid to flow through pipes.

____, used extensively in modern piping settings, is highly resistant to corrosion and chemical degradation, flexible, and can be easily installed.

The most widely used products in stormwater drainage systems are ____.

Surveyors sometimes use ____ for checking elevations at selected points on a parcel of property.

____ are used to display graphically the elevation characteristics of a given line or feature (road, railroad, sewer line, gas line, etc.) along a given route.

During the process of a ground survey, the survey team records spot elevations at known points. These records are called ____.

One of the broad classifications of fittings, ____, are generally used in applications requiring small-diameter pipe of 2.5 inches or less.
