New Small Probes Expand Use Of Thickness Gage- Literature Available Krautkramer-Branson has ex- panded the capability of its DM2 ultrasonic thickness gage with a selection of new, small probes. The DM2 is already well-known for its reliability in measuring wall thickness on corroded or eroded pipes and vessels, its pen- etrating power in castings, and its stable thickness readings at high temperatures. Four new 14- inch probes now extend applica- tion of the DM2 to include meas- urement of wall thickness on small-diameter tubing and stud- ded boiler tubes, as well as other limited-access inspections. The new additions to the DM2 system include fingertip as well as extended housing designs. The KB-550-FH is a fingertip probe for ambient-temperature testing on rough and uneven surfaces over a wall-thickness range of 0.05 to 2.0 inches. Similar speci- fications are offered by the KB- 550-BTH, except that its extend- ed housing provides easier access to obstructed test surfaces such as studded boiler tubes. The KB-560-FL is a fingertip NOW blend heavy oil (up to 6000 sec RW) with marine diesel oil and burn in medium speed auxiliary engines and in main propulsion engines during maneuvering. cut diesel oil consumption up to 50% with OVER 500 INSTALLATIONS ...WORLDWIDE PAYS FOR ITSELF IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR •••WELL Fuel Oil Blender U S Representatives ISTON PRODUCTS INC AFFILIATED WITH ^V! mold co. inc. 1140 Bloomfield Ave .
