MMC Offers Free Literature On Improved xFlexi-Dip' Portable Electronic Tape MMC International Corp., a tank gauging manufacturer whose prod- ucts incorporate a measuring tape for definite, accurate readings, has announced improvements to their Flexi-Dip® portable electronic tape. The new model has been specifi- cally developed to work in open tank situations, with single tank in- sertion measuring ullage (outage), interface, and temperature individ- ually, in any dual combination, or all three functions. Flexi-Dip operates in tank depths up to 100 feet (30 meters) giving readings accurate to ± V%" ( — 3mm). Measurable to within W of tank bottom, Flexi-Dip offers a repeatability of ±1/6" (±2 mm) on linear measurement, with tempera- ture readings to ±0.5°F (±0.2°C) and repeatability to within ±0.1°. FM and BASEEFA approved as intrinsically safe, the completely self-contained Flexi-Dip features 33'-100' (10M-30M) antistatic tape, locking thumb screw, digital LCD readout at the hub, and mode select switch for ullage (outage), interface and temperature.

Fincantieri Orders 4 MAN B&W Engines —Literature Available The Italian shipbuilders Fincan- tieri, Trieste, have ordered four MAN B&W 8L 58/64 marine diesel engines and one 9L 25/30 auxiliary diesel engine for the diesel-electric propulsion and on-board power sup- ply of a large cruise liner. The engines will deliver a total output of approximately 55,300 hp (40,700 kw). The order is worth approxi- mately DM 20 million (about $12.3 million). The four-stroke engines are for the third newbuilding in a series of luxury cruise liners ordered by Sit- mar Cruises of Los Angeles, Calif. For the previous newbuildings in this series, both the French ship- builders Chantiers de l'Atlantique and then Fincantieri had ordered the same propulsion system from MAN B&W Diesel in September 1986 and April of last year, respec- tively.
