On Friday, the Houston area team gathered for the annual Stress Golf Tournament. Ten teams of longtime colleagues and new team members competed, with the winners finishing 2 under par in demanding conditions. Thank you to everyone who played, organized, and supported the event.

We’re at The Battery Show! Visit Booth 2729 to discuss independent testing and validation of battery cells, modules, and packs; failure analysis and root-cause investigations; and defensible data. Have a technical question that needs a definitive answer? We're here to provide it.

On Wednesday afternoon, we opened our labs to Vibration Institute course participants for a tour of our testing infrastructure. Attendees saw where we validate results, the same capabilities clients rely on when precision matters.

We'll be at The Battery Show in Detroit, MI, October 12-15, at booth 2729. If attending, visit us to discuss your program. Our Waller, Texas facility offers testing on thermal runaway, containment, cycle life, performance, fire resistance, and battery packaging.

In our latest article, The Microbial Menace: Protecting Oil & Gas Infrastructure from MIC, by Suresh Divi, PhD, PE, Suresh examines the risks of microbial corrosion and the importance of identifying, assessing, and mitigating these threats before they affect operations.

A lighter bottle must do more than use less material; it must perform, be reliably manufactured, and support a unique consumer experience. Leadership in product development isn't choosing between form and function but establishing the physics to enable both.

It's ESOP Month; we recognize what independence enables. As a 100% employee-owned firm, we have no manufacturer relationships, equity partners, or competing priorities. Our conclusions withstand regulatory, legal, and peer scrutiny because our engineers are also our owners.

A product failure in the field is an engineering question requiring a defensible answer. Our failure analysis combines high-magnification inspection—optical, digital, and electron microscopes—with laboratory testing to provide critical failure-information.

A model can predict. A specification can define. Full-scale testing shows how a component or system responds under real loads. SES performs standardized and custom full-scale testing across force, load, fatigue, temperature, pressure, torque, noise, and vibration.

Our downstream team offers plant services including fitness-for-service assessments, fire-damage evaluations, coke drum monitoring, high-temperature piping analysis, and integrity programs. We use advanced analysis to give operators the data they need to make confident decisions.

We are at Rio Oil & Gas 2026. Stop by our booth in Pavilion 4, Stand W47. For 50 years, we have delivered independent, rigorous, and defensible engineering solutions to the energy sector. Stop by to learn how that depth of expertise applies to your most critical challenges.

Our team is at the Colorado School of Mines Career Fair! SES offers 50 years of proven methodology, top testing infrastructure, and is 100% employee-owned with no conflicts of interest. If you want a career tackling technical challenges, visit Booth L13.

SES will be at Rio Oil & Gas in Rio de Janeiro, September 21-24. For more than 50 years, we have delivered independent, rigorous analysis built on proven methodology and backed by our testing infrastructure. Stop by Booth W47 to learn more about Stress Engineering Services.

Twenty-five years. Today we pause to remember those lost on September 11, 2001, and those who ran toward the danger.

Our team is heading to Colorado School of Mines next week. We will be at Prep with Reps on September 14 and the Career Fair on September 15. We look forward to meeting you on campus!

The questions we receive are rarely simple. Since 1972, SES has been the firm organizations turn to when the stakes are highest and technical complexity is greatest. Built on 50 years of proven methodology, world-class testing infrastructure, and complete independence.

Two days, one question worth asking: where do you want your work to matter? Stress Engineering Services exists for problems at the frontier of technical complexity — high-consequence industries where the analysis has to be right. Stop by Booth O19!

Behind every defensible conclusion is meticulous work — conducted with precision, built on proven methodology, and delivered by a team committed to getting it right. Happy Labor Day from Stress Engineering Services.

The vibration you feel is rarely the only one worth measuring. At SES, we specialize in complex noise and vibration problems that need in-depth assessment. By integrating measurement, testing, and analysis, we deliver efficient, practical, and technically defensible solutions.

Join Stress Engineering Services, Inc. and CODA (Centre of Decommissioning Australia) for NeoSight: Safer Shallow Water P&A with Digital Twins on September 2 at 7:00 PM CST / September 3 at 8:00 AM UTC+8. Join the Webinar Here: ow.ly/Nqcs50ZFOUG
