Pittsburgh Brass Offers

Free Catalog On

Valves And Actuators

Pittsburgh Brass Manufacturing

Company (PBM) of Irwin, Pa., is offering free literature on valves and actuators manufactured by the com- pany.

PBM's complete line of two-way full port ball valves are available with a wide range of actuators and accessories.

The "Performance Package" cat- alog shows piston, vane and electric actuators with a complete line of accessories such as solenoid valves, positioners, and regulators.

All valves have an integrally cast mounting pad with four-bolt mounting, using heavy-duty rectan- gular tubing brackets. This type of mounting permits removal of the whole center section of the valve to do maintenance without removing the actuator.

Valves are available in V4 -inch to 8-inch sizes; and actuators to 10,000 lb. inch torque.

Racal's ISES Improves

Ship Operating Efficiency —Literature Available

Ship electronic systems covering all aspects of management afloat were presented by Racal to the international shipping community at the Europort Exhibition in Am- sterdam.

Known as ISES—Integrated Ship

Electronics Systems—the range of equipment is being supplied by Ra- cal Marine Systems Limited and combines the company's extensive electronics capability with in depth understanding of ship operational requirements built up over 40 years within Decca.

The ISES concept integrates ship operational functions into central work stations so that command and control from a single point becomes practical. ISES is modular, versatile and flexible and covers the four main ship management areas: bridge, engine room, cargo and ad- ministration. Each operates in stand-alone mode or may be inter- connected to exchange and dispaly information, still further improving ship operating efficiency. Data may be transferred ashore by the ship's communications equipment.

The four subsystems making up

ISES are:

Bridge: IBES (Integrated Bridge

Electronic System). This comes in two forms. IBES 100 is based on the

Racal MNS 2000 multi-sensor navi- gation receiver and processor inter- faced to an ARPA display and adaptive autopilot, with the facility to add an automatic chart table.

Transfer of data between these units makes for a highly cost-effec- tive integrated navigation and colli- sion avoidance system.

IBES 1000, the more advanced and comprehensive bridge system, enables every mile of a ship's pro- gress to be monitored and con- trolled to a degree of efficiency not previously attainable. It is possible not only to undertake from a single command position the safe and effi- cient navigation of the ship but also to perform a complete range of oth- er functions, including voyage plan- ning, voyage monitoring and pas- sage economics. Full communica- tion between the color graphics- based work station and the ARPA and automatic chart table allows for the onboard creation of electronic charts.

IBES 1000 comprises stand-alone equipment which meets or exceeds statutory requirements and a mas- ter work station with MC68000- based processor, color graphic dis- play and control facilities which provide simple and rapid access.

The work stations (each processor drives up to five) communicate with

ARPA, autopilot, multi-sensor navi- gation receiver, automatic chart ta- ble and other navigational sensors such as log, gyro and sounders.

Engine room: ISIS (Integrated

Ship Instrumentation System). This draws on Racal's 20 years of experi- ence in marine automation. It is based on ISIS 450 which has full

Unmanned Machinery Space capa- bility and meets the requirements of all major Classification Societies.

ISIS monitors and controls main and auxiliary machinery, ballast, trim, etc., from one or more loca- tions as well as undertaking trend analysis and performance monitor- ing.

Cargo: ICES (Integrated Cargo

Electronic System). This system un- dertakes stress and stability calcula- tions as well as monitoring and con- trolling cargo, including tank levels, draft, temperatures and the status of valves and pumps. It also pro- vides the capability to plan, record and produce the paperwork asso- ciated with cargo operations and personnel training.

Administration: IMAS (Inte- grated Management Administration

System). This performs such time- consuming shipborne tasks as pub- lic and private documentation, ac- counts, stores and stock control, maintenance planning, training, welfare, entertainment and word processing. IMAS will, of course ac- cess administrative data in the bridge, machinery and cargo inte- grated systems.

ISES hardware features high defi- nition, fast response color displays with dedicated keyboard and rolling ball cursor control, all optimized for marine use.

The ISES family, developed after extensive project studies and sea trials with British Marine Technol- ogy (formerly BSRA and NMI) and

BP Shipping, presents the ship operator with new and highly flexi- ble ways of increasing ship efficien- cy.
