Brookfield Cone-Plate

Viscometers Offer

High Shear Rates

Brookfield's new CAP 2000 se- ries of cone-plate viscometers offers high shear rates and variable speeds in an instrument Brookfield says is optimized for R & D and QC appli- cations. The instrument develops variable shear rates to 26,600 sec-1 and speeds from 50 to 2,000 rpm.

Other features include rapid sample temperature control from five to 200 degrees C with accuracy to within plus/minus five percent.

The CAP 2000 can be used in either a free-standing or pro- grammed operation using its RS232 computer interface. There is a also a parallel printer interface to pro- vide documented test data.

Brookfield says other advantages of CAP 2000 are ease of use, ability to test small samples less than 1 ml in volume, rapid testing, speed and ease of cleanup.

Optional features include

CAPCALC® application software for data gathering and analysis, choice of cone angles for different viscosity ranges, high temperature model with operation to 200 degrees

C, and single-speed model CAP 1000 designed especially for the paint and coatings industry with single shear rate measurements around 10,000 sec

The Pipe Choke installs flush to the surface in minutes with ordi-

Jeamar Introduces New

Winch Line

Jeamar Winches has introduced a new line of engine-powered winches in sizes ranging from 2,000- 1b. line pull to 18,000-lb. line pull as standard sizes, with larger sizes on request.

All sizes are available with either gasoline or diesel engines. Stan- dard features include automatic fail safe braking and variable speeds; the units also offer portability, com- pactness and conformity to ANSI standards.

Jeamar says the new line is de- signed for continuous heavy duty operation at low maintenance and operating cost.

A seam in the collar allows it to be easily opened and then closed by means of an integral clamp, making it removable for installation later or transfer for a pipe of equal diam- eter. The system will expand when a fire raises the ambient tempera- ture above 300 degrees F, sealing the void created by deteriorating non-metallic pipes to prevent pas- sage of fire and smoke. Certifica- tions include UL 1479, ASTM E- 814, andASTME-119 ratings. Four

PCS sizes are available, to accom- modate pipes of 1.5,2,3, and 4 in. in diameter.

For once ill life, itpaystobe faceii.

Now you can install a two-part dock facing system that gives twice the benefits of any other.

The complete Dock Fendering System from

BFGoodrich offers the proven, money-saving pro- tection of LINERITE®and Solidur®— two types of facings to keep you covered in all situations.

Engineered to endure in high-impact areas, LINERITE is a polymer/rubber composite that absorbs repeated blows.

Protecting far longer than wood, tires and other traditional fenderings.

Solidur, a solid UHMWP material, rounds out the BFG system — reducing friction and wear while providing a shield of strength. For pier and canal walls, it's the premier polymer facing.

To hear more about our fendering system, face to face, call 910-251-8000. Or fax 1-800-835-2575. And discover all the good things customers are saying.
