BSRA Publishes Code Of Procedure For Marine Equipment

The assembly of a marine instrumentation and control equipment package is a complex and time-consuming operation. It is with the aim of simplifying this operation, as well as producing effective and reliable systems with consequent operational economies, that the British Ship Research Association has produced a 400-page "Code of Procedure for Marine Instrumentation and Control Equipment." BSRA is one of the largest research organizations devoted to marine technology in the world and provides services not only to member shipbuilders and shipowners, but also to nonmember organizations on a contract basis on an international scale.

Applicable not only to new installations, but also to refits and retrofits, the Code draws on the experience of specialists from the equipment manufacturing, shipbuilding and shipping industries.

As a guidance and training manual, it is believed to be unique in its field.

It is divided into two parts.

The first provides general guidance on the practices governing the specification, design, procurement, installation and commissioning of marine instrumentation and control systems, and the second includes detailed technical information on the specification and design of the commonly used instruments, equipment and systems, covering electrical, electronic, pneumatic and hydraulic control systems.

Copies of the Code, price $50 inclusive of postage (via surface mail—$6 extra for air mail) and packing, are available from the British Ship Research Association, Wallsend Research Station, Wallsend, Tyne & Wear NE 28 6UY England.
