at our annual PVP Conferences.
Our PVP Conferences have long been rec‐
ognized as outstanding international fo‐
rums for the exchange of knowledge and
information in the pressure technologies
disciplines. At the upcoming 2013 PVP
Conference in Paris, France, we will wel‐
come attendees from at least 46 different
countries representing all regions of the
globe. Such an exceptional global gather‐
ing of the engineering community pro‐
vides an excellent opportunity for potential
new members to experience our Confer‐

to offer. This extensive international repre‐
sentation also provides us with opportuni‐
ties to gain further knowledge and under‐
standing of regional topics on which future
conferences could focus and other ways in
which our PVPD can provide service to the
engineering community. As has always
been the case, the continued success of the
PVPD directly depends on the commit‐
ment, dedication, and active participation
of our members. As our membership con‐
tinues to grow and become even more in‐
ternational, so will our opportunities to
serve the engineering community.

Conference in Paris are rapidly being com‐
pleted and all indications are for another
outstanding event. My congratulations
and thanks go out to all the authors and
organizers for their hard work and com‐
mitment. Thanks also go out to the Con‐
ference sponsors — their contributions to
our success are very much appreciated.
Most importantly, I look forward to greet‐
ing the “PVP family” when we meet again
in Paris — see you there!

mittees will also meet during the lunch
breaks on Monday and Tuesday. Confer‐
ence attendees are encouraged to attend
one or more of these Technical Committee
meetings and become active members in
these outstanding groups.
A key component of every PVP Conference
is the opportunity to socialize with old
friends and make new friends, and our
Conference in Paris offers several great
possibilities. The Conference‐Wide Recep‐
tion on Monday evening presents an excel‐
lent opportunity for meeting and interact‐
ing with all the attendees and their guests.
Two separate daytime tours have been ar‐
ranged for families and guests. On Mon‐
day, we will have the Paris City Tour.
Driving by all the famous spots of Paris,
you will get into the heart of the secrets of
the city: The Sun King, the French revolu‐
tion, Napoleon Bonaparte, many important
people and famous events have made Paris
the beautiful city it is now. During the
tour, two stops will be arranged for taking
pictures and stretching legs — the Tro‐
cadéro, facing the Eiffel Tower, and Notre‐
Dame, where a coffee break will be offered.
Among Parisian famous spots, you will
also discover the bustling Opera Square,
the spectacular Concorde Square, with its
famous obelisk, the Invalides, and the
Champs Elysee, with the famous Arc de
Triomphe.
On Tuesday, we will be offering a tour
through the Orsay Museum. The Gare
d’Orsay was inaugurated on the 14th of
July, in 1900, as a train station, for the Paris
World Exposition, and was considered a
masterpiece of industrial architecture at the
time. But soon the platforms had become
too short for the now much longer trains,
and, as early as 1939, the Gare d’Orsay was
out of use as a train station.
The train station had been completely
abandoned since 1961 when it was saved
from demolition by then French President
Pompidou. In 1978 French President Gis‐
card d’Estaing decided to use the gare in‐
side the museum d’Orsay as a museum for
19th and 20th century art. In November
1986, the museum was inaugurated by then
French president, François Mitterrand.
tion Forums are also included in the Con‐
ference schedule. Don’t miss out on any
of these perennial attractions.
PVP Conferences have had a long tradi‐
tion for providing an excellent venue for
exchanging state‐of‐the‐art technical infor‐
mation, and, over the years, they have
provided many social and networking
activities. The Conference will begin on
Sunday, July 14th, with the opening of on‐
site registration, both workshop sessions,
and the first of our two Special Tutorials.
Technical paper sessions begin on Mon‐
day morning. We are fortunate that
ASME President, Marc W. Goldsmith, and
incoming ASME President, Madiha M.
Kotb, will both be in attendance in Paris.
Each will provide opening remarks at the
Plenary Session. Presentations by Ms.
Anne Chaudouet, Senior Consulting Engi‐
neer at the Technical Centre for the Me‐
chanical Industry, and by Mr. Richard
Barnes, Principal Engineer of ANRIC En‐
terprises, Inc., will complete an interesting
and informative Plenary Session. In addi‐
tion to the numerous technical paper ses‐
sions, the popular NDE Demonstration
Forum and Software Forum will be pre‐
sented on Monday and Tuesday, respec‐
tively. Three technical tutorials will also
be presented during the Conference— one
each on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes‐
day. The PVP Division Technical Com‐
The museum contains 2,300 paintings,
1,500 sculptures and more than 1,000 other
objects. It covers a period from mid 19th
century through the mid 20th centuries,
and contains works from Monet, Manet,
Renoir, Cezanne, Van Gogh, and others.

mendous dedication, commitment, and
countless hours in the preparation for this
Conference. Likewise, our thanks go out to
all of the Conference sponsors. Our spon‐
sors’ support is a much appreciated com‐
ponent in assuring the continued success of

he main role of the
PVP Senate is to
support the Executive
Committee (EC) of the
PVP Division. One of the
major Senate functions is
to organize the Student
Paper Competitions and Symposium at
every annual PVP Conference. As a result,
the Rudy Scavuzzo Student Paper Sympo‐
sium and 21st Annual PVPD Student Paper
Competition are being prepared for the
2013 PVP Conference to be held in Paris,

2013 ASME Pres‐
sure Vessels & Piping
Conference are almost
complete. The Conference
will be held in Paris,
France, at the Marriott
Rive Gauche Hotel, July 14–18, 2013. The
PVP Conference Co‐Chairs are Michael
Nitzel from M. E. Nitzel Engineering Ser‐
vices, and Ron Hafner from Lawrence Liv‐
ermore National Laboratory. The Techni‐
cal Program Chair for the Conference is
Daniel T. Peters. Approximately 190 paper
and panel sessions are planned, as well as
Tutorials, the NDE and Software Demon‐
stration Forums, and the Student Paper
Symposium & Competition.
The 2014 ASME Pressure Vessels & Piping
Conference is currently being planned for
Anaheim, California, USA at the Hyatt
Regency Orange County Hotel. The Con‐
ference dates will be July 20–24, 2014. The
PVP 2014 Conference Chair will be Daniel
T. Peters, and the PVP‐2014 Technical Pro‐
gram Chair will be Marina Ruggles‐Wrenn.
The Short‐Form Call for Papers has been
issued, and is presented on Page 12 of this

oluntary contribu‐
tions to the Soci‐
ety, the PVP Division, and
the pressure vessels and
piping industry are recog‐
nized through a number
of ASME Society and Di‐
vision honors and awards.
Historically, the Honors & Awards Lunch‐
eon, held during the annual ASME Pres‐
sure Vessels & Piping Conference, is an
opportunity to recognize prominent mem‐
bers of the Division.
The ASME S. Y. Zamrik Pressure Vessels &
Piping Medal for 2012 was presented to Dr.
M. K. Au‐Yang. Dr. Au‐Yang is one of the
Paper Sessions. Among them, 45 draft pa‐
pers were submitted on or before the dead‐
line. To be eligible for competition each
paper submission must meet the deadlines.
The qualified papers represented 14 coun‐
tries from all over the world including
Asia, Europe, North and South Americas.
About one third of the total draft papers,
i.e. 16 papers, have been submitted to the
BS/MS category while the remaining pa‐
pers, i.e. 29 papers, have been applied to
the PhD category. We plan to invite eight
Finalists from BS/MS and PhD categories
each, for a total of 16 Finalists. Addition‐
ally, 16 Honorable Mentions will be in‐
vited. Because the number of PhD level
papers is much greater than that of the BS/
MS level papers, 12 Honorable Mentions
are likely to be selected from the PhD level
candidates while four Honorable Mentions
will be selected from the BS/MS level appli‐
cants. The Senate members contribute to
the selection process through their reviews
of the student papers as well as evaluations
of the students’ presentations.
I look forward to seeing you at the Student
Paper Competition and Symposium in
Paris!

other part of the High Pressure world. At the PVP‐2012 Conference, a special treat
was the David Kendall memorial session.
It was organized in remembrance of one of
the founding fathers of the HPT Commit‐
tee who passed away in 2011. The session
was truly moving. Special thanks goes out
to Ed Rodriguez and Jan Keltjens, the
Technical Program Representatives, ses‐
sion developers, chairmen and especially,
the authors.
In 2013 the PVP Conference will be in
Paris, France. Darren Stang and Rick
Hallman, the TPR’s, are working hard in
developing and planning sessions on vari‐
ous areas of High Pressure technology
such as Design and Analysis, Impulsively
Loaded Vessels and as session on Polyeth‐
ylene production. It promises to become a
very interesting Conference.
Anyone interested in high pressure tech‐
nology activities is invited to join us and
participate at the next Committee meeting
at PVP‐2013 in Paris, France.
