STL hosts Tire Technology Seminar for engineering, industry education

To provide engineers and professionals with a thorough understanding of tire technology and the tire and wheel industries, Standards Testing Laboratories (STL) will host an educational Tire Technology Seminar Sept. 23 to 25 at the company's Massillon, Ohio, headquarters.Standards Testing Laboratories operates as the world's largest independent testing facility for tires, wheels and related automotive components, and developed the seminar to benefit non-tire engineers, entry-level engineers as well as experienced tire engineers. The course will also equip professionals who have direct or indirect involvement related to tires with a thorough, general knowledge of the design, construction, materials and performance of tires.

The two-and-a-half-day seminar will encompass a range of tire and wheel technology topics, including materials, mechanics and manufacturing, tire and wheel design and construction, testing and evaluation, industry regulations and service issues, and advanced concepts.

     
The small group format of the seminar allows participants to engage with STL's automotive and tire experts in the fields of engineering, engineering mechanics and vehicle dynamics, and chemistry. A tour of the extensive STL test facilities will provide a first-hand understanding of test equipment and methodology, and a concluding Q&A session allows attendees to apply what they've been exposed to throughout the course of the seminar.
 
Deadline for registration is Sept. 1. Registration is $1,100 and includes all sessions and materials, three luncheons, an evening banquet and refreshments throughout the course. Discounts are available for three or more persons from one company registering together. Interested parties can register online or call 800.833.8547 to request a form.
