i have been working as an engineer ni for almost two years and i think i hardly ever talk about it.
sedih.
bukan apa, i blame the media.
YO producers/script writers/directors/and those yang kerja in filming industry!
Y U NO MAKE MOVIES OR SERIES PASAL ENGINEERS?!
*exception of Prison Break.
kalau ada pun, tak melekat kat people's minds to know what engineers do. coz we all know what doctors do, what teachers do, what happens in glee clubs and hair salons, but really, apa sangat yang orang tau pasal engineers?
sooooooooooooooooo,
meh saya ajar sikit pasal engineering ya. and this episode, i nak ajar pasal fittings!! yayyyy!! (?)
*ehem*
kalau buat satu project, tak kisah la rumah ke, building ke, toilet ke, train station ke, fittings mesti ada. fittings ni diumpamakan as penyambung. Fit-Tings. It Fits. eh macam potential nama kedai je. ahak!
function fittings ni, well, menyambungkan pipes or besi or whatever.
here are some examples of fittings:
google image, saya curi gambar tanpa permisi. thanks!
"wah, apa natang ni sume?" tanya orang yang curious. i bet kalau those yang tak curious dah stop baca by now =p
ini adalah pipe fittings!
here are two examples of fittings!
google image, i curi your picture dengan sengaja. thanks!
this is elbow 90degrees. bukan 98degrees ya.
kalau you notice, all the pipes yang bengkang bengkok memang ada elbow ni. wajib. kena. mandatory.
google image, i took this one too. thanks!
this is nipple. stainless steel SS316. 1 inch, 150 lb. this one function dia menyambungkan two separated (and threaded) pipes.
and there are sooo much more!!
i dulu awal-awal kerja selalu gila pergi hardware store to stock up these fittings. so i almost kinda memorised all the fittings that are commonly used. like these two!
oh, by the way, now that we are aware of the existence of fittings, kalau boss you tengok kat purchase orders and ask
"whose nipple is this??? 1 and a half inch??"
jangan la fikir bukan bukan.
dan yang penting, jangan la gelak.
sekian.
