Seminar Schedule 2009 - 2010
Basics of Thermal Package Design and Testing (One Day) TPD 140 Cost $495
San Jose
November 18, 2009
Who should attend?
Package Designers, Distributors, Quality Managers, Product Developers The development of a great thermal package system is part science and art. In this seminar we will visit the basic properties of thermodynamics and how they apply to a passive thermal package. Material availability and selection along with coolant types will be covered. The seminar will also include how to test and qualify the best package design. At the end of the day you will have the knowledge to review the thermal performance of a package system and determine if it meets your requirements.
Instructor: Mark Escobedo, WESTPAK, Inc.
Areas Covered:
Thermodynamics Overview
Specifications and procedures
Material Selection
Coolant Selection
Qualification of Package Design
Proper instrumentation
Interpretation of the Data
Reporting
Overview: Time will be spent in the laboratory preparing a package system for thermal testing and conducting a short test to collect some data to be used in the seminar. Networking with other professionals is an important part of any conference and is encouraged at WESTPAK seminars.

Small Parcel Package Distribution (One Day) SPP 185 Cost $495
San Jose
December 16, 2009
Who should attend?
QA Managers, Project Mangers, Logistics Managers, and the people who work for them.
If your job requires the safe shipment of single parcels through the distribution environment, then this seminar will be invaluable in helping you determine the sequence of testing required to get the results you need. ASTM D7386 and ISTA 3A are both considered to be a test simulation and the seminar will focus on the four defined package types. These test specifications are relatively new and are gaining momentum in various industries. By the end of the day you will find out when to apply these specifications, how to determine a test sequence, and develop a detailed test plan for your package. This interactive course will provide you with a package type for which you will have to determine and perform the test sequence. To enhance the learning experience a compressed test sequence will be conducted in the laboratory. At the completion of this course you will have a better understanding of these standards and when these apply to your package system.
Instructor: Mark Escobedo, WESTPAK, Inc.
Areas Covered:
Dynamics overview
Distribution environment quantification
Determination of product vibration and shock sensitivity
Performance Tests ASTM D7386, ISTA3A tests
Test documentation
Overview: This seminar will focus on the development and execution of a small parcel test sequence. The seminar includes time for lab demonstrations of the covered tests and Q&A. Networking with other professionals is an important part of any conference and is encouraged at WESTPAK gatherings.
