The Online Piping and Usage Specification (OPUS) tool helps users dynamically evaluate combinations of pipe types, materials, applications and joining methods. Plus, the data in OPUS links directly to the world-class members of MCAA’s Manufacturer/Supplier Council who can provide the materials and methods to make it all work!
While OPUS is geared toward those who are new to the industry, it’s powerful enough to be used by experienced professionals who need to make dynamic combinations of systems and materials on the fly. If you just need to know what the most prevalent materials used in the mechanical contracting industry are, their most typical applications or uses, simple definitions (e.g., What is a ball valve?), photos, diagrams, and who on earth provides and can explain all this “stuff,” www.opuspiping.org should be your first stop!
Developed by the Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF) with the assistance of MCAA contractors, Manufacturer/Supplier Council members, students and other stakeholders, this is one resource you won’t want to miss. And you can’t beat the price…it’s free to all who use it. OPUS is your online pipeline to piping knowledge!
