ree Brochure Offered By Coffin Turbo Pump ties in Virginia to provide better service to our rapidly growing cus- tomer base in the mid-Atlantic re- gion," said Jill L. Aaron, presi- dent.

Recent in-house projects allowed the company to develop and implement improved resistance prediction methods for tankers and bulkers. These re- placement algorithms reportedly produce higher quality results for the large, high-centered bulbs found on contemporary tankers and bulk carriers. An internal technical re- port (HCI Report #104) describes these enhancements and presents comparative validation studies. A new user support system fea- ture, known as AppGuide, is an- other contribution in revision 3.1. AppGuide is designed to eliminate the calculation procedure learning curve. Grouping of data entry, file handling and calculations are pre- built and arranged for the six most used calculation processes: resis- tance prediction; shaft power; opti- mum propeller selection; quick-size propeller selection; preparation of model/parent file from a model test; and preparation of a model/parent file from a sea trial.

The GL-90 reportedly provides accurate gauging of tanks onboard ships, on offshore installations and )n land-based tanks. The measur- ng technique of the system is based 3n microwave radar technology and advanced signal processing, includ- ing a post-processing of data result- ing in continuous supervising of the tank and each system module. Mounted on top of the tank, the system has no physical contact with the tank's contents. To help the system withstand severe conditions, only AISI 316 acid resistant steel and teflon (PTFE) are used.
