The American Society of Sanitary
Engineering and the American Society of Plumbing Engineers will work together
to develop a joint plumbing dictionary. It will combine the current
publications issued by each organization, bringing the plumbing community
closer to having consistent, globally accepted terminology.
“Both ASSE and
ASPE have a strong focus on providing technical expertise in helping to ensure
that plumbing systems are designed, installed and maintained in a manner to ensure
public health and safety,” said ASSE President
Jim Bickford.
A joint
committee has been formed comprising both ASSE and ASPE members, and the
committee will soon begin its work. The finished product is expected to be released
sometime in 2012.
Ronald
L. George, CPD, a long-time member of both ASSE and ASPE, is the
current ASSE Plumbing Dictionary editor and ASSE Nomenclature Committee chair.
He will be chairing the joint ASSE/ASPE committee.
