Instruments are supplied with two types of transducer sets to accommodate pipesizes ranging from as small as ½? to aslarge as 78 inches in outside diameter(OD).

The technology is designed to create a new pipe within the original pipe, restoring the pipe systemto a ?better than new? condition for a long-term solution. Nu Flow?s patented corrosion-preventive epoxy will elimi- nate the need for time-consuming andexpensive bulkhead exposure repairs that previously had to be made while the ves- sel was in dry dock. This pre-emptive practice is now standard procedure prior to commissioning new aircraft carriers and is part of the U.S. Navy's protocol to prevent rust and corrosion. The Navy de- veloped this patented epoxy for their air- craft carriers to avoid the costly and time consuming process of replacing pipe sys-tems in their aircraft carriers. Nu Flow is the master licensee for that patentedepoxy and makes this technology avail- able for civilian applications. Epoxy lining of naval vessels' piping systems began in 1988 with the USS America by American Pipe Lining Inc., which has since merged with Nu Flow.

DMS 500 range has been launched to meet the needs of userswho require a conservatively priced, top- quality motion sensor with Ethernet con-nectivity, but without the high integrity subsea housings that typify Teledyne TSS products. The newest addition to the range is the DMS-500H, and it can beused to measure heave and has important applications such as in support of craneand winch control and helideck opera- tions. The DMS-500RP was launched earlier in the year and has been developed to measure roll and pitch to meet theneeds of dynamic positioning (DP) sys-tem builders or any application that needs to provide high dynamic accuracy during vessel turns or extreme sea conditions. There are currently three models in theroll and pitch range; the DMS-525RP, the DMS-535RP and DMS-550RP. www.teledyne-tss.com HC/CH Clutches for Marine Applications Industrial Clutch, Waukesha, WI, intro- duced the Model HC/CH clutch designedfor use in marine applications includingdrawworks, winches and propulsion. HC/CH models are drop-in replacementsto competitive clutches. The HC/CH clutch features a unique,patent-pending key seal that allows for the use of standard O-rings and improves the ease of installation in current config- urations using a double keyway and sin- gle drilled actuation hole. This innovative key seal simplifies the sealing process and minimizes the possibility of damageto expensive seal arrangements. All HC/CH models feature forced oil-cool-ing provisions for high-energy engage- ments. www.indclutch.com MR Nov.11 # 13 (98-104):MR Template 11/4/2011 1:55 PM Page 101
