Dahl To Market New Improved

Racor Replacement Elements — Literature Available

Dahl Manufacturing, Inc. plans to market new, improved Racor diesel fuel filter/water separator replacement elements in addition to their standard product lines.

Headquartered in Ceres, Calif., Dahl man- ufactures Dahl Fuel Filter/Water Separators for diesel engines. The units are recognized in the industry for their excellent performance and high quality construction.

Dahl announced that the Racor replacement elements will have the same rigid quality con- trol that is applied to the Dahl filter car- tridges. Both Dahl and Racor replacement ele- ments will have special filtration media that is scientifically formualted, and resin impreg- nated. Less mechanical resistance is achieved by large holes in the metal casing and uni- form pore size in the paper media. To assure perfect end seal, high quality non-cracking, non-hardening Buna-N gaskets are used; two and 10 micron elements are available to suit your operating conditions.

The Dahl replacement elements for Racor filter/separators will be sold at the lowest competitive price. Normal shipment in 24 hours from receipt of order. Distributorship as well as dealerships are available. For free lit- erature containing information regarding products, prices or delivery schedules,

Baatservice Building Big

Catamaran Survey Vessel

Baatservice Verft A/S of Mandal, Norway, is currently fitting out a new and larger ver- sion of the JKL twin-hulled survey vessel de- sign for J.K. Lindberg of Harstad. The new vessel, with an overall length of about 125 feet and beam of 33 feet, represents a scaling up of the 78-foot Blom Surveyor, which has been in service since March of this year with

Bloms Oppmaaling.

In common with the Blom Surveyor, the new vessel, designated the JKL 3800 Type, is being built using Kevlar reinforced sandwich construction—a technique that the Mandal yard has pioneered for building large work- boats and survey vessels. In addition to the very high tensile strength of the Kevlar fiber, the use of this material is said to contribute to reduction in radiated hull noise, which is es- pecially relevant for any seismic survey operation.

The twin keels of the JKL 3800 design per- mit wide spacing of the main propellers, which contributes to high levels of maneuver- ability even in strong winds, and their long thin straight runs aft provide excellent direc- tional stability.

When completed, the new vessel, which is powered by two GM Detroit Diesel 800-bhp engines driving controllable-pitch, highly skewed propellers, will incorporate Burnvoll bow and stern thrusters, Kongsberg Albatross dynamic positioning, a moonpool, and a wide range of survey-related deck handling equipment.

The "old masters" of waterside corrosion protection* ^J or more than seventy years, Apexior* Number 1 and Apexior Number 3 ^^^ coatings have been providing effective corrosion protection for metal exposed to fresh or salt water,

Apexior Number 1 is a heat-resistant organic coating for the protection of metal surfaces immersed in hot water at temperatures above 200°F (93°C).

It protects the water-side surfaces of steam generating equipment, feed water heaters, de-aerators, evaporators, steam turbines, and diesel cylinder liners.

Apexior Number 3 protects metal surfaces that are frequently wet or exposed to high humidity, or that are immersed in water up to 140°F (60°C). It provides basic, low-cost protection for metal surfaces that are difficult to prepare properly. It is recommended for service conditions where the use of expensive high-performance coating systems cannot be justified.

Take advantage of the corrosion protection the "old masters" provide.

Apexior coatings are available in the U.S. and Canada from your marine supplier or

Dampney Company,Inc., 85 Paris Street, Everett, MA 02149. Telephone (617) 389-2805.
