The Ultimate & Complete Treatment for Vibration &

Noise for integral Engine/Gear Systems

The LO-REZ 'Q' Factor

DesignEd to aohiEVE unprEOEdEntEd rEduction in noiSE and vibration IEVEIS "Scientists and others who do their work in the wet lab, and other ship spaces, have been very pleased with the greatly-reduced vibration and noise levels since installation of the

Lo-Rez system and the Hatfield-designed acoustic treatment.

The end result of installing Lo-Rez engine mounts and flexible couplings, is phenomenal.

There are now approximately 12000 operational hours on the main engines with no problems to date".
