MURDOCK TECHNOLOGY.

You probably know Murdock for its Lockseal flexjoints — flexible couplings used in the offshore market's drilling risers, production risers, bearings in tension leg platforms, flexible joints in subsea pipelines, tensioners, and in a variety of other critical applications.

So it may surprise you to learn that Murdock can bring a multitude of design, engineer- ing, manufacturing, and test- ing capabilities to virtually any high technology project.

The capabilities Murdock can bring to bear on your project include:

Design and engineering —the staff includes specialists in mechanical design, metallurgy, elastomers, structural analysis, fatigue and fracture mechanics, corrosion pro- tection, and non-destructive testing.

Computer design and analysis — in addition to CAD/CAM the library includes programs for fracture me- chanics, structural analysis, and elastomer characterization.

Manufacturing — with CAD/CAM technology and highly accurate ma- chine tools, Murdock can produce components and assemblies using standard and exotic materials. And heat treating facilities can handle parts to 5 ft. by 6 ft. by 16 ft.

Corrosion protection — ex- perience includes fusion-set epoxy coatings, two-coat epoxy paints, and aluminum flame spray coatings. Also, cathodic protection systems can be designed and installed.

Demanding quality control —

Murdock's role as a major contractor in a high tech- nology field is supported by the latest computer-controlled measuring devices, specially designed test facilities and non-destructive test equipment.
