High-Torque Air Motor — Literature Available

WABCO Fluid Power of Lexing- ton, Ky., a division of American

Standard Inc., has announced an agreement with Tachyon Corpora- tion of Minneapolis to develop jointly and to market worldwide an improved low-speed, high-torque fractional horsepower air motor.

The new air motor, based on

Tachyon's patented Gerotor fea- tures, is designed to produce air- powered rotary motion in many marine, industrial, mobile, and pe- troleum applications.

In addition to manufacturing in- dustrial products, American

Standard is a leading producer of railway mass transit and automo- tive braking and control devices, plumbing and other building prod- ucts, earth- and ore-moving vehi- cles, bank security systems, and graphics products. The company and its affiliates carry on manu- facturing operations in more than 20 countries.

When's the last time you asked for a custom hot-rolled section?

WBC Custom-Welded Sections Beat Hot-Rolled Beams Six Ways. 1. Custom Sections

It's no longer necessary to restrict your beam designs to standard hand- book WF sections. Special offset or "Z" sections like these are easily pro- duced by Welded Beam Company to suit your exact geometry, loading, and length reguirements. You can even use dissimilar steels for web and flanges. 2. Reduced Fabricating

Cost

Since WBC "CustomBeams" are fab- ricated exactly to your requirements, labor and scrap from cutting up standard WF beams to suit the job is eliminated. 3. Stronger

High Frequency welding produces a true forge weld as strong as the par- ent metal with no filler metal or cast structure. And, you can specify HSLA steels up to 80,000 psi yield for all or part of the beam providing greater load-carrying capability in a smaller, lighter beam. 4. Easier Assembly

Draft angles are nonexistent for WBC

HF-welded beams. So flanges are flat and edges are square, simplifying fit- up at assembly. Also, beams can be delivered to exact customer lengths saving on splicing or cutting on-site. 5. Consistent Quality

Our beams are produced continu- ously at speeds up to 200 feet per minute on our modern high frequency weld mill. Low waste, high speed, and specification-matching controls com- bine to assure a consistent high- quality product. 6. Delivery Flexibility

Our mill is a more flexible manufac- turing system than the traditional hot mill. As a result, shorter runs are eas- ily achieved that shorten your lead time and let you match delivery to construction dates.

Welded Beam Company "CustomBeams'' can make a dramatic difference in the integrity, scheduling and fabricating costs of your fabricated metal product.

Warren Pumps Division

Of Houdaille Industries

Acquires Pyroite® Lines

Frank Standish, president of

Warren Pumps Division of Hou- daille Industries, Inc. Warren,

Mass., has announced that War- ren has acquired the Pyroite® pump lines of Plastonics International,

Inc. of Avon, Ohio. The lines con- sist of horizontal and vertical cen- trifugal pumps and vertical tur- bine pumps, all of which are manufactured of Pyroite, a pat- ented reinforced composite.

Pyroite material, according to

Mr. Standish, is a space-age, ver- satile engineering resin that pro- vides the exceptional structural strength of composite with the cor- rosion and erosion resistance of an exclusive resin to handle 97 per- cent of all corrosive and erosive liquids at temperatures to 500 F (260 C).

Production will commence at

Warren's main plant shortly, and an inventory of pumps and parts is now available at the Massachu- setts facility.

Hempel's Introduces

New Antifoulings — Literature Available

A new approach to non-polish- ing antifoulings—a product area many sources estimate accounts for at least 85 percent of the total world market for antifoulings—was announced recently by Hempel's

Marine Paints A/S.

Through half a century of re- search and development of tradi- tional, non-polishing antifoulings,

Hempel's has gained a thorough understanding of the effects of an- tifoulings. It is this know-how that now enables Hempel's to intro- duce, under the name Classic, a new optimized range of these tra- ditional coatings.

The Classic range consists of four products: antifoulings 7611, 7633, 7655, and 7677, which to- gether cover the full non-polishing spectrum by taking into account the degree of protection required by individual vessels for their par- ticular trading pattern, activity level, and desired drydocking in- terval.

The versatility of the Classic range, through combining the products' variable film thickness and coating sequence abilities, provides no less than 13 alternate specifications. This, together with the easy to follow selection table, not only allows the shipowner the widest choice, but enables him to recognize and choose the optimum non-polishing system for each in- dividual vessel.

Classic antifoulings,
