The Technical Society

California. He was from 1892 in parallel also a member of the San Francisco Sewerage Commission, and from 1900 to 1904 city engineer of San Francisco. During the next year Grunsky was a member of the Isthmian Canal Commission involved in Panama Canal. Since then he was a consultant for the US Reclamation Service, Washington DC. He was a member ASCE and its president in 1924, of the Technical Society of the Pacific Coast, and of the California Academy of Sciences, presiding it fixim 1912. 

The main target group for the Technical Society was artists and craftsmen. Thaulow wanted to stimulate the intellectual and practical development of craftsmen and artists in Christiania by exposing them to the natural sciences. He also lectured on the use of chemistry in agriculture and published a book on the subject, inspired by Liebig." The society quickly became popular and attracted 300 members (in a city with a population at that time of 29 000). 

During a meeting in 1852 in the Technical Society, Rosing discussed the idea of creating a Polytechnical Society with some of the other members. The idea was to create a society with a broader scope that should enhance the position of the... 

Thus, in the present cultural environment, the results of fundamental corrosion research are nominally exchanged between experts in their own fields. There is at present no effective national or international venue for the dissemination of corrosion research results to researchers or to practitioners who are outside the currently linked communities that are organized within the technical societies.

Many of the technical societies and trade associations listed in Section 7.3.2 and 7.3.3 publish information on safety and accident prevention. This following section is a partial listing of such offerings, divided into five categories ... 

The classification of motor oils has not been completed in the ISO standard because the technical differences between motors in different parts of the world, particularly Europe and the United States, make the implementation of a single system of classification and specifications very difficult. In practice, different systems coming from national or international organizations are used. The best known is the SAE viscosity classification from the Society of Automotive Engineers, developed in the United States. 

The Ukrainian Society for Non-Destructive Testing and Technical Diagnostics (US NDT TD) was established at the meeting of the leading experts of the country, on October 28, 1990, The aim of the Society s activity is consolidation of the efforts of scientists and engineers for development of their creative and business activity, information exchange, satisfying the professional interests, development of international contacts on NDT TD. 

The standard methods (26) of analysis for commercial lecithin, as embodied in the Official and Tentative Methods of the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS), generally are used in the technical evaluation of lecithin (27). Eor example, the AOCS Ja 4-46 method determines the acetone-insoluble matter under the conditions of the test, free from sand, meal, and other petroleum ether-insoluble material. The phosphoHpids are included in the acetone-insoluble fraction. The substances insoluble in hexane are determined by method AOCS Ja 3-87. 

Steels having adequate hardenabiHty develop martensitic stmctures in practical section sizes. Molybdenum is a potent contributor to hardenabiHty, and has been shown to be even more effective in the presence of carehiUy selected amounts of other alloying elements (26). The end-quench test has become the accepted method for measuring hardenabiHty, and the data can be correlated with section size. Technical societies worldwide have standardized hardenabiHty limits (bands) for a large number of carbon and alloy steels standards of the Society of Automotive Engineers are examples (27). 

Design parameters as a function of temperature and design temperature limits are set forth in the ANSI/ASME B31 Piping Codes for a very broad range of materials. These codes, and the additional information available from manufacturers, vendors, and technical societies such as the National Association of Corrosion Engineers provide ample data for the selection of materials for piping systems (1—13).

Specifications and Test Methods. The American Society of Electroplated Plastics pubHshes a comprehensive book covering most technical aspects of testing and control (24). A number of ASTM standards have been issued that cover thickness, adhesion, and thermal-cycling resistance of the total plated film. Some specifically for plated plastics include ...

Although there is no substitute for individual action based on a firm philosophical and ethical foundation, designers have developed guidelines for professional conduct based on the experience of many of them who have had to wrestle with troublesome ethical questions and situations previously. These guidelines can be found in the published codes of ethics for designers and engineers of a number of industry and technical societies such as the Industrial Designer societies.
