Darren L. Stang, the principal systems engineer at OMAX Corporation (Kent, WA), was recently elevated to the distinctive grade of Fellow from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME; New York, NY) in recognition of his outstanding engineering achievements. Thomas G. Loughlin, the executive director of ASME, and Dr. Sam Y. Zamrik, the past president of the organization, presented Stang with the award at the 50th annual PVP (Pressure Vessel and Piping) Conference honors and awards banquet that was held in Vancouver, Canada.
Stang joins an elite group of 3,439 Fellows out of over 100,000 ASME members. He has over 30 years of experience in designing, manufacturing and high-pressure equipment. An expert in high-pressure technology, he serves as the subject matter expert for OMAX in the areas of fatigue, fracture mechanics, damage tolerance and fatigue mitigation.
Stang merits his fellowship through his leadership, dedication and promotion of high-pressure technology in the PVP Division of ASME, and through his work in the ASME Section VIII, Division 3 codes and standards committee. He has served as chairman of the High-Pressure Technology Committee and currently serves on the PVP Division Executive Committee. He is also a past recipient of the prestigious S.S. Chen PVP Outstanding Service Award, and Jim Farr PVP Outstanding Conference Session Award.
As an active leader in ASME, he advocates for his company and the waterjet industry among his peers in the Section VIII, Division 3 codes and standards committee. His guidance has greatly expanded and enhanced the participation of ASME’s High-pressure Technology committee with key members of the waterjet and global high pressure vessel industry in general.
“We are proud to have Darren Stang as a member of our team,” stated John Chung, the chief executive officer of OMAX. “His contributions to his profession and advancement of the waterjet industry make him an outstanding collaborator. When our employees seek continuous professional development, they are better able to serve our customers.”
