About

As a designer of high pressure measuring systems for 38 years for the aerospace industry resulting in multiple patents. Ken spent countless hours in his library researching materials and chemical compatibility. Realizing the challenge facing design engineers in selecting appropriate materials for specific environments, he began researching material compatibility to guide product design. Kens research over a period of more than 35 years resulted in a collection of comprehensive publications for our valued clients.
