With their network of international ofÞ ces, Rustibus offers the best solutions for surface preparation worldwide. www.rustibus.com FLIR Introduces First Mate II FLIR Systems has launched the next generation of its First Mate line of handheld thermal night vision cameras. The First Mate II has the same thermal imaging performance that boaters have come to expect, but adds the powerful InstAlert feature. InstAlert is an automated image processing feature that highlights the strongest heat signatures in the image in red, instantly alerting boaters to overboard people or waterborne hazards. Ultra-compact, easy to use, and light weight, First Mate II models are available in 240 × 180 or 320 × 240 resolutions and have a wide variety of lens options. They also have long battery life, a rugged, all-weather design, and some models can plug into an external monitor for even greater ß exibility. www.FLIR.com Shipham Launches New Wafer Check Valves Shipham Valves, a subsidiary of W?rtsil?, has developed a new range of composite single plate wafer check valves. Available in sizes from 3Ó Ð 12Ó / DN80 Ð DN300 and rated at 16 bar, the single plate Wafer Check Valve adds to Shipham Valves existing range of composite valves. The latest range is a compact, lightweight, fully non-metallic valve and comprises only two components - the body and the disc. ShiphamÕs composite valves offer outstanding internal and external corrosion resistance, will not melt, creep or shrink and have signiÞ cant weight savings over equivalent metallic valves. www.shipham-valves.com Cummins QSK19 and QSK60 Tier 3 Engines Now Available Cummins Inc. has announced the availability of its U.S. EPA Tier 3 certiÞ ed QSK19 and QSK60 marine engines. Cummins Tier 3 solutions apply advanced combustion technology to reduce emissions in-cylinder without the need for aftertreatment. Cummins Tier 3 marine product line will serve as the platform for future, more stringent emissions regulations. The Tier 3-certiÞ ed QSK19 and QSK60 feature the same premium base engine hardware and footprint as the existing MCRS product. The lubrication, cooling, air handling, fuel and exhaust systems are the same design, ensuring minimum disruption for series-built vessels or replacement engines. www.cummins.com Fuel Management with FloScan FloNETThe FloScan FloNET system includes proven opto-electronic turbine fuel ß ow sensors for marine applications. Flow rate data is routed through the FloNET module and interfaces directly with a navigational electronics display. It provided instantaneous and continuous readings of gallons per hour; gallons remaining in the fuel tanks; nautical miles per gallon and projected distance to empty right on the Simrad LCD screen. FloScan FloNET can help identify the optimum performance points, helping you cruise further, burn less fuel and even identify potential problems that can cost you more money each time you fuel up. www.ß oscan.com Klüber Introduces Klüberbio LG 39-700 Grease Klhber Lubrication has developed a new adhesive lubricant Ð Kl?berbio LG 39-700 Ð for the lubrication of open gears and pinions driving large anchor winches and tooth racks of jack-up systems. An ideal solution for machine elements with highly-loaded sliding surfaces operating in ecologically sensitive areas, the lubricating grease has good low-temperature characteristics and is suitable for open gears or rack-and-pinion drives at very low temperatures. Made of renewable raw materials, it is biodegradable, according to OECD 301B, at least 60 percent after 28 days. Kl?berbio LG 39-700 reduces the environmental impact of leakage. http://seamenschurch.org42 MNDecember 2012MN Dec2012 Layout 32-43.indd 42MN Dec2012 Layout 32-43.indd 4212/3/2012 4:39:36 PM12/3/2012 4:39:36 PM
