Elinca Systems To Be Installed On Five Tankers Of Chevron Shipping Fleet U.K.-based Elinca Ltd. of Shef- field recently won a major order to install its systems, which control marine fouling and corrosion in ships' seawater systems, on five VLCCs owned by Chevron Ship- ping Company. The tankers to be protected are the Howard W. Bell, C.W. Kitto, Chevron London, Bur- naby, and South America. Instal- lation is expected to be completed in the spring of this year. These installations will add to the considerable list of Elinca sys- tems presently operating through- out the world. These include in- stallations on drillships, jackups, and semi-submersibles, as well as other shipboard installations. Elinca uses the electrolytic prin- ciple to protect pipelines and other seawater systems by means of a low impressed current fed from an automatic control panel to spe- cially alloyed, sealed anodes fitted in pairs in suitable locations. In this case, the usual sea chest-lo- cated anode assembly has been adapted to a housing above the sea chest, and the "treated" water is then piped from the housing into the sea chest, to flow throughout the system. Anodes are also lo- cated in the scoop and on inspec- tion doors in the condenser.

This pourable, resin socketing system provides elastic- ity at termination transition points to insure maximum resistance to shock loads. Actual results of dynamic test loads are included in a new, four- page sales bulletin. This brochure explains how the resin socketing system, developed by Philadelphia Resins Corporation of Montgomery- ville, Pa., cures quickly to pro- vide 100 percent of the rated break strength of a wire rope, while eliminating installation hazards associated with poured zinc or babbitt. After curing for less than an hour at 70 F or for only five min- utes with a wraparound heater, SocketfastE will withstand severe environments from -65 to 200 F, and it will not be affected by elec- trolysis or immersion in most cor- rosive fluids. For socketing boom pendants and other wire rope assemblies on cranes and other equipment, Sock- etfast combines ease of installa- tion with substantial improve- ments in fatigue strength and shock resistance. This poured resin system also eliminates the need for acid etching and handling of molten metals. To replace wire rope assemblies in the field, the resin system allows standard sock- ets to be used over and over again by merely driving out cured cones with a drift pin.
