quirements. RTCA/DO-160 Section 22 outlines environmental conditions and testing procedures for airborne equipment, particularly for protection against lightning, to provide increased safety, system capacity, and overall efficiency. API’s circular connectors feature a specially formulated potting compound and proprietary potting process to seal the filter elements. e potting insulates and protects the capacitive filter element and allows it to withstand very high voltage surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes. “API is proud to provide its customers with products that meet the tightest safety standards,” commented David Arthurs, Product Line Manager, API Technologies, Electromagnetic Integrated Solutions (EIS). “With the addition of RTCA/DO-160 lightning strike protection, our line of specialty EMI filtered and unfiltered circular connectors meet a wide variety of standards suitable for the aerospace, military and commercial industries.” Available in custom and value-added designs, API’s circular connectors can be specified to meet a variety of size, shape, filtering, or material requirements, including MILDTL-38999, MIL-DTL-26482, MIL-DTL55116, MIL-PRF-15733, and

MIL-DTL-83723. Value-added services include adding wires terminated or unterminated to all lines or only selected lines, twisted pairs, and labeling of wires for easy placement in a system. API designs and manufactures all components for its circular filtered and unfiltered connectors. From shells and shields to seals and grommets, each component of a custom connector undergoes an extensive assembly and testing process, delivering extremely reliable, high performance connectors to fit both economic and mechanical needs. API Technologies’ Electromagnetic Integrated Solutions (EIS) line of products includes EMI filters and interconnects, ceramic capacitors, specialty connectors and cabling, power filters and film modules, as well as a line of magnetics.
New online solution source for making pressure vessels HGG Profiling Equipment announced the launch of a specially focused online solution source for manufacturers and fabricators of pressure vessels. PressureVesselCutting.com addresses typical problems associated with manufacturing and fabricating pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and spooling; focusing on speVolume 7; Issue 1
cially targeted product and software solutions that reduce welding, grinding and cutting costs while improving cut quality for a perfect fit up. PressureVesselCutting.com features specially designed machinery for pressure vessel cutting, including the chuck-type Stationary Pipe Cutter (SPC-Series) with patented biaxial head for cutting large diameter pressure vessels, spools and nozzles, the PC-600 for cutting smaller pressure vessels and nozzles, and the SPC-RB with a roller-bed for high production pressure vessel, spool and pipe cutting. e website also features HGG software designed especially for improving pressure vessel cutting, including ProCam Software, a fully automated software connection to export cutting files directly from design/CAD programming centers. Further, the site allows visitors to submit technical drawings that detail pressure vessel specifics directly through the site, which in turn enables HGG specialists to provide time studies that document cost savings and expected machine payback. e site also provides a number of individual case histories that document how well known companies have dramatically reduced the time needed to prepare and cut pressure vessels while increasing pressure vessel cut quality. HGG, headquartered in Wieringerwerf, Netherlands, is a leading supplier of pipe cutting machines, robotic profile cutting lines and associated cutting equipment solutions around the world. HGG maintains subsidiaries in the Philippines, China, India, the MiddleEast, and most recently in the United States. e new HGG Profiling Equipment subsidiary in Charleston, South Carolina provides comprehensive sales and service support for the company’s growing customer base in North America, Central America and South America. is HGG subsidiary serves an array of industry customers in Steel Construction, Piping Process Industries, Offshore/Onshore, Crane Building, Ship Building and othSO \ ers.
