This course uses the BSRIA BG 30 Design Workflow for Water Distribution Systems as a framework for investigating hydronic systems, with a particular focus on correctly sizing pipework and pumps. The theory will see us go on a journey from the 1700s and Newtonian physics, through to the present day and the unanswered questions of fluid flow.
Attendees will leave with a practical understanding how to correctly design and commission the major components of a hydronic system.
They will build a basic calculator to assist with pipe-sizing decisions
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the design process for piped systems.
- Correctly size pipework and emitters
- Deepen their understanding of the relationship between Pressure and Flow
- Pump duties and basic pump selection
- Recognise standard hydronic system configurations
- Junior Engineers
- Engineers whose first discipline is not Mechanical
- Technical Sales specialists
- Project manager's looking to deepen their understanding of piped systems
- Mechanical Engineers looking for an in-depth refresh of piped systems
- Contractors and Technical Services Managers wanting to improve their theoretical understanding

Peter McElroy
PMCE Services Ltd|Director
Peter is a Chartered Engineer and has an MSc from Glasgow Caledonian University. His professional training was undertaken within some of the leading international design consultancies. He then the design team of one of Scotland's top M&E Contractors; to learn and develop an understanding of the practicalities of Building Services from an installation perspective and sharing his passion for design with junior staff. This hands-on approach is apparent in his training, with deep and rich theory woven together with real life practical examples.
