ASME STS - Pint Sized Discussions - PCC-1 - Joint Assembly Guideline

Join us for Pint Sized Discussion — a relaxed but technically rich gathering focused on the art and science of bolted joint assembly through the lens of ASME PCC-1 Appendix O.

Hosted at Equal Parts Brewery on April 16th from 7:30 PM to 10:00 PM, this session dives into the practical realities of achieving joint integrity: from bolt stress variability and assembly methods to the nuanced guidance of Appendix O and its role in reducing leakage risk in critical service.

Whether you're involved in field assembly, turnaround planning, reliability engineering, or inspection, this is a space to exchange hard-earned lessons, challenge assumptions, and refine your approach to joint assembly. Expect conversations around torque vs. tension, friction scatter, gasket behavior, and how disciplined procedures translate into measurable reliability gains.

Designed to encourage thoughtful discussion and peer connection, Pint Sized Discussion brings together professionals who understand that even the smallest components — when improperly assembled — can have outsized consequences.

Come share insights, compare methodologies, and pressure-test ideas… all over a well-earned pint.

We’re also looking for motivated members to step into leadership roles that support our growing community. Volunteer opportunities are available for Webmaster, Secretary, and Member at Large — excellent positions for those who want to stay engaged, shape future events, and give back to a vibrant technical network.

So grab a drink, pull up a chair, and be part of a discussion that’s anything but small.

Pint Sized Discussion — where engineers meet, mingle, and move ideas forward.
