Good, but the information on Variable Spring Hanger Selection Table should be expanded.
A Glossary of Pipe Hanger terms would also be helpful

The course could be improved with a better explanation of the variable spring table. If this came from a particular manufacturer I would like to see their explanation of how to use it to make product selection. Perhaps a link to it could be added. Also, the table is in section 5.1 but test question 14 says "Section 5.2", The text mentions spring ranges BE399 to BE403 but we are provided BE401 to BE403 so we have a partial table-what we need of it perhaps but no more. What is the significance of the blue filled box in the hanger size 9 column with the number 1100 in it?

Good review of type of restraints. Not much analysis and explanation of load determination. Test questions were fair but some ( not all) test questions were vague based on explanation of the of the write up.

Good field engineering and practical guide. Note: Question on hydraulic snubbers is counter intuitive. The answer was all of the above, but one of the all was that hydraulic snubbers should be preferred to other types of supports. The text says that hydraulic snubbers should be used as a last resort.

Example on p.19 is confusing by referring to items that are not in the selection table. Catalogs are very specific on how to make these selections and much easier to understand. Other info very good.

Again a somewhat so so curse as there were many vagaries in descriptions and pics.
Again for those multiple guess questions containing both "None of the above" and "All of the above" as choices and where the answer is the latter it should precede the former. Not the case in this test. A logic failure!
Tabulation of EXAMPLE VARIABLE SPRING HANGER SELECTION TABLE on p20 is missing hanger spec data for BE-400 & BE-399 thus making the example difficult to follow.
I have worked on Rankine power plant designs for 50+ years and been in numerous such facilities new and old fossil and nuclear powered land based and shipboard and have NEVER ... REPEAT ... NEVER seen hanger misapplication failures such as those pictured. Scary!!

The course was good with a lot of pictures of typical failures. I did think that perhaps a second example of the use of Hanger Selection Table might have been useful. Perhaps one that did not fit the table so well.

Overall this course was a good overview of pipe supports and common failure conditions. There is some assumption that the reader is familiar with pipe support terminology. A basic intro or glossary to provide reference to the reader regarding the terms used in the course would be helpful.

Parts of the document were unclear, making it difficult to understand and correctly answer the test questions. Also, at least one question could have had a choice of two correct answers, resulting in my receiving a lower score as I did not choose the author's answer.

Pictures were worth the price of the course and although the course is written for pipe designers and stress analysts other disciplines might get lost but still good information even for inspectors. Very broad subject but well defined.

Very Informative course especially on failures
Update the support table be be readable. I made a comment and did receive a readable table. Thanks

The spring load tables were impossible to read making it very difficult to answer on of the test questions. The tables should be revised or the questions should be eleiminated.

Not Bad
The graphic in Section 5.1 is totally illegible. So there is no way to get 100% on the test. Other than that, it is good information.

1. Very good course.
2. The table on page 20 is not usable/readable, but can be found online at http://basicpsa.com/products/variable-spring-hangers/.

Pipe Support Failures for beginners
Would have liked to seen more discussion of failures of pipe hanger connections at ceilings connection.
Section 5.1 table is barely legible.
Would appreciate discussion about smaller conduit and pipe as well, i.e. electrical conduit and storm pipe. Perhaps this deserves a separate course.
Overall not that bad.
