MTU continues its active involve- ment in the military marine market and has achieved an important mile- stone by winning two of the three

Mark V special operations craft (SOC) test vessels for the U.S. Spe- cial Operations Command (SOCOM), which should lead to the purchase ofthe new Mark V (SOC), the company said. The program requirements are based on specific performance rather than a specific boat design. One of the crafts is powered by two 3,000-hp MTU die- sel engines (16V396TE94) with sur- face-piercing propellers and the other has two 12V396TE94 (2,285 hp each) and KaMeWa waterjets.

Nelson Firestop

Products

Circle 81 on Reader Service Card

Nelson Firestop products play an important role in fire containment.

A comprehensive fire protection pro- gram includes prevention, protec- tion, suppression and containment.

Firestopping is a special activity under the fire containment cat- egory.

Preventing fire from passing through a barrier penetration may depend on a single component which offers a complex balance of thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, adequate sealing at high tempera- tures and controlled consumption, so Nelson Firestop Products urges customers to insist on properly in- stalled and tested components.

Nelson Firestop says its compo- nents are always manufactured to exacting standards, thereby signifi- cantly reducing the chance of instal- lation error and subsequent system failure, which could result in poten- tially life-threatening situations.

There are more than 1,000 ves- sels worldwide with internal fire containment products by Nelson.
