June 2005 79 hydraulics. The company counts the pumps fewer wearable parts, as well as its electrically- actuated, low-load flow reversal and low mass moment of inertia for very short start-up times, as advantages. The new versions with enhanced motor power increase capacity to 1200 cu. m./hr. and pump heads to 20 m.

Jotamastic Smart Pack

Jotun has developed Jotamastic Smart Pack, designed specifically for use with brushes and rollers. Jotamastic Smart Pack was devised to deliver special flow characteristics that allow the paint to provide an even, thick paint film.

Jotamastic Smart Pack is a further development in the Jotamastic range from Jotun utilizing mod- ern technology in the Epoxy Mastic field. As with all Jotamastic products, Jotamastic Smart Pack is surface tolerant and has penetration proper- ties that enable good adhesion and long life even on low levels of surface preparation. Jotamastic

Smart Pack contains a hydrocarbon resin that aids the penetration, improves resistance to moisture and improves the flexibility of the coat- ing all adding together to provide the perform- ance that one would expect from a product in the Jotamastic Range. Since Smart Pack is designed for small areas it comes in small pack- aging and has a simple mixing ratio

Ballast Water Treatment

NEI Treatment Systems' patented Venturi

Oxygen Stripping system was invented to address the ballast water issue. This technology has recently been proven in shipboard trials to meet the IMO Ballast Water Performance

Standard. "It was a real challenge to develop a non-toxic treatment method that can handle thousands of cubic meters per hour of ballast water flow", says Peter McNulty, NEI's President. "This shipboard system is the culmination of years of research and development. We're pleased to see that it works reliably, irrespective of sediment and organic load, or salinity, or tem- perature. And, since it's a deoxygenation method it reduces ballast tank corrosion, which can save millions of dollars over the life of a ves- sel."

Venturi Oxygen Stripping is a deoxygenation technology that rapidly removes 95 percent of dissolved oxygen from ballast water. This is accomplished by mixing very-low-oxygen inert gas through a parallel network of venturi injec- tors into the ballast piping as ballast is drawn into the vessel. Aquatic organisms cannot sur- vive in these conditions. In addition, since the oxygen is removed, corrosion of ballast tank steel is virtually arrested. Upon discharge the process reverses itself.

New Module for Press-Fit

HBM introduced the next generation of press-fit evaluation plug-in modules: ML85B. The module is compatible with its predecessor, and is designed for evaluating press-fit and fitting processes using the tolerance window method.

The ML85B can be used with any MGCplus sin- gle-channel amplifier and enables: the ratio of torque to angle of rotation to be monitored. Any physical quantity such as force, displacement, torque, or angle of rotation can be processed.

Nine oblique or rectangular windows are provid- ed for the evaluation process and each can be evaluated using four methods: Course of the curve; Fmax ; Fmin; and Average force value
