Enterprise Marine Completes

First Major Ship Repair Contract —Literature Available—

According to an announcement by co-owners Joseph Cangelosi and Carl McBratney, their newly formed company, Enterprise Ma- rine and Industrial Repairs, Inc. of

Port Newark, N.J., has recently completed its first major ship repair contract involving extensive hull and machinery repairs to the M/V

Saint Jean.

The Saint Jean sustained heavy damage to her stern transom plating which required the renewal of 11 plates and all the internals in the way of the plating.

Enterprise Marine chose a mod- ular approach to the repair task, fabricating a large ground assembly to allow for the erection of the ves- sel's new steel in essentially one unit. In addition to the structural work involved, electrical, mechani- cal and piping repairs were per- formed as well. The work, which involved some 30 employees, pro- gressed on a seven-day-a-week ba- sis, often around the clock. Enter- prise Marine met contractual obli- gations for both delivery and quoted cost.

The first major project for Enter- prise Marine, which was formed by

Mr. McBratney and Mr. Cange- losi to serve the marine industry in the area of pierside and riding crew maintenance and repair needs, was the loading of more than 10 tons of fireworks onto 40 barges for the Sta- tue of Liberty weekend festivities in

New York Harbor.

Free 24-Page Technical

Article On Asbestos-Free

Packing Materials Offered

The Flow Control Division of

Rockwell International has pub- lished a new 24-page technical arti- cle, "Tests of Asbestos-Free Stem

Packings for Valves for Elevated

Temperature Service."

The article describes a test pro- gram conducted to evaluate asbes- tos-free valve stem packing materi- als proposed for high-temperature service. Packing gland bolt loads, stem frictional loads, and packing compression were measured with room temperature water at pres- sures to 6,250 psig (431 bar) and with steam at pressures to 2,200 psig (152 bar). Valve stem diameters from 1 to 4 inches and strokes from 1.68 to 20 inches were also included in the testing.

Approximately 100 packing sets were cycle tested over a 12-month period. In addition, effectiveness of several corrosion inhibitors was evaluated in corrosion tests with 24 packing sets. Several successful
