North West Houston Sub Section Welcome to the website of the North West Houston Sub Section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International (ASME), the Internet resource of choice for Mechanical Engineers in the North West Harris County & Houston area. Congratulations to NWHSS Member Dr. Joe Fowler, President, Stress Engineering Services, for being honored with the Geoca Mechanical Engineering Award at the 4th Annual American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ International Petroleum Technology Institute Best Mechanical Engineering Awards Reception during OTC on May 5, 2008. Several Members of NWHSS received prestigious awards at the South Texas Section ASME Honors & Awards Banquet in April for their outstanding service to oue ASME community. We know you will want to congratulate these folks on their award and their recognition.
Outstanding Service may never be more appropriately defined than by the dedicated leadership and long time service to ASME of Clint Britt. As organizer of the annual Trade Show put on by the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Technical Chapter, our Educational Fund for College Scholarships has not only thrived and been distributed each year, the fund has nearly tripled from what Clint helped create over 20 years ago. Our goal for this scholarship program benefitting our local ME college students is to be self sustaining. We will be there soon, and we can always remember the extra efforts by so many to get there! April 24, 2008 Luncheon with Stephen Bond, Ph.D. Vice President of Technology Flexitallic Gaskets are often one of the last items in a design to be considered. In the grand scheme of things, gaskets are a relatively low cost item; however the consequence of using a gasket incorrectly (or even the wrong gasket) can be very expensive. We will review the function of a gasket in a joint, along with the main types of gaskets available today. The pros and cons of certain designs will be discussed, along with typical applications and application criteria for each gasket type. We will concentrate somewhat on newer gasket materials and designs. When & Where : Stress Engineering Services Conference Center 13800 Westfair East Drive, Houston Cost: Free Admission, and Brown Bag lunch is $12 with reservation. Membership Not Required. Bring a Guest! Reservations Requested. Please contact Wendy Davis at 281-890-8441. Click here for directions. . If you would like to be placed on an e-mail update list, just send Wendy Davis a note and you will get timely reminders each month of the upcoming meeting with details of the topic and speaker. Thursday, April 24, 2008
A few notes about our Distinguished Speaker : Stephen Bond is a relative newcomer to Flexitallic and to Texas, joining Flex and moving to Texas in October 2006 after 11 years in the automotive sealing field, all for the same company, but comprising four roles in three locations, on two continents (5 years in the UK and 6 years in the mid west of the USA). Before joining the automotive industry, the speaker worked for 4 years in industrial coatings in northern England. Educated at Aston University, Birmingham (England, not Alabama), he graduated with a BS in Applied Chemistry and then a Ph.D. in Chemistry, specializing in mineral chemistry. The speaker has published around a dozen papers in peer reviewed journals and is the holder of six patents to date. We meet on fourth Thursday of the month for lunch unless noted. Your suggestions and assistance are welcome. Contact Rafik Boubenider
