February 2006 43 industrial applications around the world. "This implies that we will meet the magic specification limit of 10 cu. m./hr., with this core product," said Jon Berggren, responsible for IMO AB marine sales. The result of this unique, new rotor lead design by IMO AB, is an increased flow of the ACE pump to meet specified duty flows above 10 cu. m./hr. The new rotor set will be fitted in the same, body utilizing all design features such as compactness, available with magnetic coupling. Circle 10 on Reader Service Card New Pressure Transducer The PX2471 Series Pressure Transducers are designed and tested to meet the new Marine Pressure Standards MIL-T-24742(SH) and ASTM F2070 when invoked. Applications for the PX2471 Series Marine Pressure Transducers include naval shipboard use, both on surface and sub-surface vessels, as well as general marine uses on new construction and ship overhauls. Available in gauge (psig), sealed gauge (psis), absolute (psia), vacuum, and compound ranges from 0-30 in-Hg to 0-10,000 psi, the PX2471 Marine Pressure Transducers are also available in custom ranges as low as 10 in-H2O. Built-in test points make calibration and system function verification fast and easy while their modular design allows easy field servicing. The output, which is commonly used for recording or con- trol purposes, is a 2-wire 4-20 mA signal powered by 28 Vdc. Circle 11 on Reader Service Card Iveco Motors Debuts Engines to North America Iveco Motors of North America, Inc., a Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) company, unveiled its Vector family of diesel engines to the North American marketplace. The Vector family consists of 8, 12, and 16-cylinder diesel engines with a horsepower range of 640 hp to 2,368. The Vector family features a V- type cylinder configuration with four valves per cylinder, and a high-pressure common rail injection system. The engines are turbo-charged, aftercooled and can be either an air to air intercool- er or an air to water intercooler. The Vector 8-cylinder has a displace- ment of 20L and has a gross power rat- ing up to 1,184 hp; the Vector 12-cylin- der has a displacement of 30L and has a gross power rating up to 1,777 hp; and the Vector 16-cylinder has a displace- ment of 40L and has a gross power rat- ing up to 2,368 hp. Options available include: oil pan configurations, hydraulic fluid pumps, air compressors, air conditioning compressors and fly- wheels. Multiple gear-driven power takeoffs are also offered. Circle 12 on Reader Service Card Digital Force Gauge with USB output Handheld ZP gauge is designed to accurately measures any push/pull force such as instru- ment key pressure, spring tension, or peel resistance, and now records and processes 1,000 actual measure- ments/second and can transmit them through its USB output. The unit features programmable set points, selectable units, and capacities up to 1,100 lbf. Circle 13 on Reader Service Card Second Generation Navmaster ECDIS PC Maritime launched the second gen- eration, DNV type-approved Navmaster ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System). Now a member of the Charente Group of companies, PC Maritime is set to market Navmaster worldwide and intends building a net- work of agents and distributors to sup- port the product globally. Among Navmaster's distinguishing features are: • uniquely detailed berth-to-berth route planning incorporating the naviga- tor's instructions and notes; enhanced passage plan documenta- tion that can be used to conform to ISM and company quality standards; voyage dated record and replay module for vessels not yet required to carry type approved VDR to provide evidence in the event of incident; automatic transfer of monitored route to back-up.
