New List Of Type Approved

Instruments And Control Equip.

Available From Lloyd's Register

Lloyd's Register has recently published a new list of type approved instruments and control equipment containing details of those items of control engineering equipment for which the Society has granted its Control En- gineering Equipment Certificate of Approval.

Equipment made by 27 companies in a num- ber of different countries is listed, and this in- cludes alarm, control and fire detection sys- tems, controllers, data loggers, pressure gages, recording and indicating instruments, solenoid valves, transmitters and pressure, temperature and micro switches.

The Control Engineering Equipment Certi- ficate of Approval is granted in accordance with the Society's Environmental Test Speci- fication, which is given in Appendix I of the

List. The test levels are recommended mini- mum standards for type approval of instru- ments and control equipment intended for in- stallation in control rooms, machinery spaces or other compartments shielded from the weather but exposed to heat, humidity and vibration. The tests simulate conditions en- countered in service at sea.

Equipment under test is required to func- tion satisfactorily in specified conditions of power supply fluctuation, vibration, dry heat humidity and inclination. The equipment is also tested to ensure that it conforms with the manufacturer's stated specifications. There are additional tests which may be required de- pending on the particular use of the equip- ment.

Copies of the "List of Type Approved In- struments and Control Equipment 1971" are available on request from Lloyd's Register at 71 Fenchurch Street, London EC3, England, and from Lloyd's Register of Shipping, 17 Bat- tery Place, New York, N.Y.

HALTER-BUILT ALUMINUM PILOT BOAT: Halter Ma- rine Services, Inc., New Orleans shipbuilder, has delivered the Rhode Island Pilot (shown above), a 35-foot pilot boat, to the Rhode Island State Pilots Association. The new high-speed boat, which has a speed in excess of 23.5 miles per hour, is powered by a single General Mo- tors 8V71 diesel engine. Its design features a deep V- flared hull for maintaining station in exceptionally heavy seas. The vessel's all aluminum construction is exceeding- ly heavy for coming alongside ships and for boarding in extreme sea conditions. The boat is further equipped with rubber fendering all around for added protection. Steering is Orbitrol hydraulic. The Rhode Island Pilot carries 350 gallons of fuel oil and 40 gallons of fresh water. It is equipped with a King electric galley unit, head and shower, and has sleeping quarters for two. The design of the vessel permits boarding by pilots off the forward quarter, with the pilothouse positioned aft and amidships for better visibility and control when approaching ships in a seaway. Auxiliary and navigational equipment in- stalled on the boat include a Decca 101 radar, an Onan 5-kw generator, and electric heaters for operation in the excessive cold of New England.
