Connector Identification

Selecting and installing the right hose or tube assembly requires ac- curate measurement and identifica- tion of ports, threads and connect- ors, which come in a wide variety of sizes and types. "How to Identify Fluid Connect- ors," Aeroquip Bulletin 5963, de- scribes the tools and simple meth- ods used to easily identify end con- nectors around the world. Ameri- can, German and French metric,

British and Japanese connectors are also included in the convenient pocket size 36-page bulletin.

The bulletin shows how to mea- sure threads and sealing surface an- gles and to match these measure- ments with dash and/or thread size charts.

Specifically, some of the connect- ors included are: American—NPTF,

NPSM, ORS® O-Ring Face Seal,

SAE 37°; German—DIN 7631/7647

Series, DIN 3852, Form B Series;

French—Millemetrique and GAZ

Series; British—British Standard

Pipe; and Japanese—JIS Tapered

Samsung has developed new concepts of the most economical tankers for shipowners to carry and handle product & crude oil.

Our new designs include large, Panamax, handy and small-sized product/crude oil tankers.

Samsung's Koje Shipyard is an ideal yard to build product oil tankers at the most competitive prices.

Over the past five years, we delivered two 19,900dwt product/crude oil tankers and four 34,000dwt product oil/chemical tankers for leading world shipowners.

Currently, we are building two27,200dwt and two 77,800dwt product oil tankers for Helmer Staubo, a 95,000dwt product/crude oil tanker for Caltex(Australia) and three 105,000dwt product/crude oil tankers for

Nordstrom & Thulin.

If you plan new product oil tankers, come to Sam- sung, the very yard that knows what product oil tankers should be.

Bethlehem-Sparrows Point

To Begin Work On Navy

Ocean Survey Ships

Bethlehem Steel Corporation's

Sparrows Point shipyard near Balti- more has announced that it will begin work soon on the construction of two oceanographic survey ships (T-AGS) for the U.S. Navy. The recently awarded contract has a val- ue of approximately $130 million for both vessels.

The project will start in early 1986 and build up to a work force level of 1,100 by the latter part of the year, continuing at that level through the third quarter of 1987.

Currently, there are 1,200 em- ployees at the yard and 1,300 on layoff.

The T-AGS ships were designed by the Sparrows Point yard's engi- neering department and M. Rosen- blatt & Son, Inc., naval architects and marine engineers headquar- tered in New York City. Each ship will have an overall length of 499 feet, beam of 72 feet, and depth of 51 feet.

Delivery of the first ship will be in 30 months, with the second follow- ing four months later.

New Chesterton Cartridge

Seal Meets API 610 Specs —Literature Available

The new Chesterton cartridge mounted single seal meets API 610 requirements and provides the hy- drocarbon process industry with an off-the-shelf, high-performance seal with capabilities usually found only in custom seals.

The floating throttle bushing has very close clearance over the seal sleeve and provides security when sealing oil, oil distillates, light hy- drocarbons or hazardous fluids. The bushing also provides effective con- trol of quench water piped through the gland. The seal is rated for 700 psig (48 BAR), temperature to 550°

F (290° C) and a surface speed of 4,000 ft/min (20 m/sec).

The standard construction is 316 stainless steel with special alloys available on request. The cartridge design allows easy, precise installa- tion with gland accurately centered over the pump sleeve by a close fit- ting lock ring. The stationary seal ring is supported by a graphite cushion to minimize distortion at high pressures. The non-clogging ro- tary seal ring locates springs and drive lug out of pumped fluid.

Chesterton is offering a free bulle- tin that gives complete information and a cutaway diagram of the seal.
