New Pall Diesel Lube Oil

Filters Offer 10-Micron

Absolute Filtration

The new Performax™ full-flow diesel lube oil filters from the Mo- bile Aftermarket Division, Pall In- dustrial Hydraulics Corporation, provide the users of Detroit Diesel,

Caterpillar, and Cummins engines the extended engine life and im- proved performance of 10-micron absolute filtration. By removing damaging contaminant particles and greatly extending the useful life of diesel engines, Performax filters are said to offer a level of protection and performance not previously available to the operators of diesel- powered equipment.

The superiority of Performax fil- ters is derived from their high-effi- ciency filter medium. Constructed of gradient-pore, resin-bonded syn- thetic fibers, and rated at 98.7 per- cent efficiency, Performax medium controls the critical 5- to 10-micron wear-causing particles responsible for premature component destruc- tion and deteriorating engine per- formance.

These characteristics account for longer service life, lower pressure drop, and more consistent perfor- mance of Performax filters when compared with conventional, nomi- nal rated, paper type filters. In addi- tion, the inorganic synthetic media

Circle 132 on Reader Service Card 3 Ideas That Made A Joiner Panel

Masonite 80-32 Marine Joiner Panels are the most seaworthy joiner panels around.

Three simple reasons spell the difference.

They will not wick water. Mop the floors. Spill water. Inorganic 80-32 panels will not wick water behind the laminate surface. There's no fear of a disintegrating core ruining the panels integrity.

One source accountability. Surfaces can be laminated to cores and a connecting system supplied by Masonite Corporation,

Inorganic Technologies Division. One source...one reliable company that stands behind its products.

To obtain the most useful life from Performax filters, Pall offers the Lube-Mynd-R™ engine oil filter monitor. This sensing device, which mounts between the diesel lube fil- ter and the engine, signals the oper- ator of the need to change filter ele- ments when 90 percent of the filter life is consumed, thereby maximiz- ing filter service life while minimiz- ing premature change-out and the risk of operating the filter in by- pass.

Senate Clears Way For

Start Of Merchant Marine

And Defense Commission

The U.S. Senate recently ap- proved legislation that, if enacted, would activate the long-delayed

Commission on Merchant Marine and Defense. The legislation, like language already adopted by the

House, clarifies that Commission members will not be considered

Federal employees, settling the con- flict-of-interest questions raised by the Administration, which has de- layed appointing any members to the Commission in the two years since it was established. The new legislation would also extend the

Commission's reporting deadline to 21 months after the panel is con- vened.
