The Instructors:
DON FRIKKEN - Instructor
Don Frikken is an Engineering Fellow
with Solutia, Inc., in St. Louis, MO. He
has been with Solutia, Inc. and Monsanto
Company since 1968; working on a wide
range of activities including piping and
mechanical design, project engineering,
and engineering standards. However,
Don’s principal specialty is piping design,
including design of complex piping
systems, piping flexibility analysis, selection of piping components
including valves, development of piping standards and
specifications, and developing and teaching numerous piping
seminars and workshops.
He is an ASME Fellow, having been a member of ASME for 34
years. During the past 23 years, Don has been active on various
ASME Piping Code Committees. He has been the Chairman of
the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code committee, vice-chair of
the B31 Standards Committee, which oversees all B31 Piping
Code committees, member of the B16 Standards Committee,
member of the supervisory board for these two committees as
well as the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, member of the
Council on Codes and Standards, which oversees the development
and maintenance of six hundred ASME codes and standards, and
just recently completed a three year term as an ASME Senior Vice
President.
Don has received a number of awards, and last year was awarded
the ASME Melvin R. Green Codes and Standards Medal, which
recognizes outstanding contributions to the development of
documents used in ASME programs of technical codification,
standardization and certification.
Don graduated with a B.S.M.E. from Kansas State University and
has a master’s degree in civil engineering from the University of
Missouri-Rolla.
GUY JOLLY - Instructor
Guy Jolly’s career spans more than forty
years. Guy has made many significant
contributions while under the employ of
Vogt Valve Company, culminating at the
position of Chief Engineer. Guy’s
accomplishments include introduction of
new products into manufacturing,
development of a quality assurance
program, establishment of the Nuclear
Products Group, and management of the engineering for the design
and manufacture of all valves and fittings.
Guy represents Vogt in a number of national and international
organization activities involved in the development of codes, standards
and other publications for valves and fittings. He is a member and past
President of the Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) of the
Valve and Fittings Industry and a member of the American Petroleum
Institute (API) Refining Subcommittee on Piping. He has been an
ASME member for 36 years. Guy has been active on various ASME
piping standards development committees. He is a member of the
B31 Standards Committee, which oversees all B31 piping code
committees, and a member of the B16 Standards Committee, which
writes piping component standards.
Guy graduated with a B.S.M.E. from the University of Kentucky, and
also has a master’s degree in mathematics from the University of
Louisville.
