HS HIGH VELOCITY P-V VALVES TYPE SV SPILL VALVE .. . FOR VAPOR CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Waukesha Bearings can help you with your review of specifications and design requirements for vapor control systems venting.

Waukesha/PRES-VAC provides tank vent products ideally suited for vapor control systems.

The PRES-VAC model HS high velocity P-V valve, for example, is intended for use in closed venting systems. Pressure or vacuum build-up are automatically relieved during loading, unloading and while sailing. The HS valve is USCG approved and also is certified by IMO as per MSC/Circ.373.

The type SV spill valve, pictured above right, is available in a variety of sizes and material com- binations. Operation is completely automatic. The valve features a unique opening mechanism that reduces back pressure after opening. SV valves have been tested and certified as per ASTM-F1271 and thus are qualified for use in vapor control systems in accordance with 46CFR 39.20-9(c).

Gas freeing covers are available with flame screen and flame arrestor inserts for inerted and non-inerted applications. All conform to the latest

IMO/SOLAS rules and regulations for purging and gas freeing devices.

Conventional P-V valves and flame screens are also available in a wide variety of materials, sizes and configurations. All are U.S. Coast Guard ap- proved.

For tank vent products engineered for perform- ance and reliability as well as help in specifying your vapor control system requirements, contact

Waukesha Bearings. We'll work with you and your designers from concepts to completion. Call us today to discuss your project.

Given for "notable achievement in naval architecture and/or marine engineering," the society's David W.

Taylor Medal this year goes to Cap- tain Harry A. Jackson, USN (re- tired), for his contribution to the art and science of submarine design, which rank with the contributions to speed and powering made by the award's namesake. Specifically his work on the use of an air pressure vertical launch system for the Po- laris submarine provided the U.S. with the capability of launching mis- siles while submerged. • VICE ADMIRAL "JERRY"

LAND MEDAL

Captain Perry W. Nelson, USN (retired), a past president and hon- orary member of the society, receives the Vice Admiral "Jerry" Land

Medal, presented annually "for out- standing accomplishment in the marine field." He has made signifi- cant contributions to the industry.

His present position as president of

M. Rosenblatt & Son gives him an active role in the design of both na- val and commercial ships. • WILLIAM H. WEBB MEDAL

Professor Howard M. Bunch, professor of Naval Architecture and

Marine Engineering at the Univer- sity of Michigan, will be awarded the 1993 William H. Webb Medal "for outstanding contributions to education in naval architecture, marine engineering or ocean engi- neering." He has been a faculty member of the U of M since 1977, and a lecturer at the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology since 1986.

He is a leading advocate and spokes- man for the shipbuilding industry in the U.S. academic community. In 1982 he was appointed NAVSEA professor of Ship Production Sci- ence of the U of M, a title which he still holds. He created and chaired the society's Ship Production Com- mittee panel on education and train- ing, and has served the society on several educational and publication committees. • BLAKELY SMITH MEDAL

The 1993 Blakely Smith Medal "for outstanding accomplishment in ocean engineering" is being awarded to Bruce C. Collip, a consulting naval architect who spent his life as a naval architect and designer of offshore installations for the Shell

Oil Corp.

Mr. Collip obtained a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in Naval Architecture and

Marine Engineering from the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Upon graduation of MIT in 1954, he joined the Shell Oil Corp. where he spent his entire career involved in offshore exploration and develpment efforts, until his retire- ment in 1987. He was instrumental in devising many of the basic ap- proaches to offshore systems which became standards of the industry.
