<BODY> <div> Eastern U.S. Representative For SSPA Appointed Dr. Hans Edstrand, director general of the Swedish Center for Advanced Maritime Research, recently announced the appoint- ment of Gunnar C.F. Asker as the exclusive representative for SSPA (Statens Skepps- provningsanstalt) in the Eastern United States. Mr. Asker graduated from the Royal In- stitute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and was a commander in the Royal Swedish Navy. He has held a number of executive positions as chairman of the board, and president of medium-sized technological cor- porations. Mr. Asker is a member of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Dr. Edstrand noted that the Swedish model testing facility has become a link in the marine fuel economy program, and that testing costs may be recovered in fuel sav- ings after a short time of full-size opera- tions. Mr. Asker will be responsible for as- sisting U.S. clients of the Swedish testing facility in their fuel conservation program. Mr. Asker's office is Room 411, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10017. Literature Available On Rockwell's New High Pressure/Temp. Valves The Flow Control Division of Rockwell International Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., has introduced a new generation of high- pressure high-temperature forged steel globe valves. Incorporating modern technology and ma- terials, the manufacturer reports the new Univalve® design offers higher pressure/ temperature ratings, a new two-piece yoke and bonnet assembly for easier in-line main- tenance and a new graphitic stem sealing system that greatly reduces the need for periodic stem packing adjustment or replace- ment. Time-proven features are also retained in the new design. These include the inclined stem design for flow efficiency, a body guided disk for smooth throttling and shut-off and hardfacing of disk and seat for long service life. Creation of the new design, available in seal-welded or unwelded models, followed extensive market surveys conducted by Rock- well which pointed out the need for a more efficient, faster, in-line valve maintenance and repair capability which could be per- formed by in-plant personnel. The new model has a seal-welded bonnet for service on hazardous or toxic fluids where absolute protection from body-bonnet leakage outweighs the disadvantage of slow- er disassembly for maintenance. Where serv- ice doesn't require the seal-welded model, an unwelded bonnet model is available for faster in-line maintenance. Three new service tools were developed to aid in efficient and fast maintenance of the new Univalves. Both of the new Univalve models are available in classes 1690, 2680, and 4500. Stop, stop-check and check Univalves in sizes Vz inch through 4 inches can be ordered with threaded, socket weld or butt welding end configurations. For more information on the new Uni- valve, write to Edward Isner, Rockwell In- ternational, Flow Control Division, 400 North Lexington Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15208. Ask for catalog V-30. CLASSIFIED LICENSED OFFICERS are sought (deck &/or engine), preferably with tank &/or gas carrier experience to design, de- velop and operate training programs. Existing courses utilize shiphandling and LNG cargo sys- tem simulators. Radar, collision avoidance, and engine room simulators are planned. Full time and seasonal positions available.
