Readings
The troubled history of vocational education
Welding technology has evolved over centuries, and it’s difficult to credit a single person with advancing it because they each played a role in the “gales of innovation” described by Joseph Schumpeter. Here are a few notable individuals:
These individuals are the first names that collectively advanced welding technology.

As cities-within-cities many colleges and universities own and maintain at least 10 miles — and possibly up to 1000 miles — of underground piping for water, steam and natural gas; much of it under pressure within buildings or in outside, underground tunnels. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers develops a suite of standards for these, and many other piping systems:
ASME B31 Piping System Standards
Fluids running under pressure are a significant infrastructure hazard in educational and all communities
ASME has released a redline of B31 Manual for Determining the Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines for public comment:
ANSI Standards Action Pages 137 – 139
ASME often posts its redlines in ANSI Standards Action as well as on its standard development platform:
This document is intended solely for the purpose of providing guidance in the evaluation of metal loss in pressurized pipelines and piping systems.
Comments are due July 26th.
You may send comments (with optional copy to psa@ansi.org) to: Ray Rahaman, rahamanr@asme.org
The ASME consensus product line is on the standing agenda of our periodic Mechanical, Energy and Nota Bene teleconferences. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Water standards make up a large catalog and it will take most of 2023 to untangle the titles, the topics, proposals, rebuttals and resolutions. When you read our claim that since 1993 we have created a new academic discipline we would present the best practice literature of the world’s water standards as just one example.
The Water 100 session takes an aerial view of relevant standards developers, their catalogs and revision schedules.
The Water 200 session we examine the literature for best practice inside buildings; premise water supply for food preparation, sanitation and energy systems.
The Water 300 session reviews standards covering athletic facilities such as swimming pools, therapeutic tubs, ice rinks and the like.
The Water 400 session will run through best practice catalogs of water management outside buildings, including interaction with regional water management systems.
The Water 500 session is a study of case histories, disasters, legal action related to non-conformance. Innovation.

Water safety and sustainability standards have been on the Standards Michigan agenda since the early 2000’s. Some of the concepts we have tracked over the years; and contributed data, comments and proposals to technical committees, are listed below:
40 CFR § 141.92 – Monitoring for lead in schools and child care facilities |
Since 2016 we have tracked other water-related issues:
Relevant federal legislation:
Relevant Research:
Real Time Monitoring System of Drinking Water Quality Using Internet of Things
IoT based Domestic Water Recharge System

“…To combat the challenges that plumbing designers face, the NIST report recommends that researchers address a plethora of questions, including how water is used in different types of buildings, how water flow and plumbing design affect water quality, what factors influence chemical reactions and bacterial growth in pipes, and how fast water quality declines in plumbing systems…”
