Pa.. May 31 to June 3 to consider a course of action that will bring about this desirable result. In his opening address before the general meeting on Tune 1. attended bv about 60 members, associates and guests. President Owsley Brown, of the Springfield Boiler Company, Springfield. 111., stressed the need for perpetuating the favorable policies developed during the N.R.A. period and subsequently. This industry, after the demise of N.I.R.A.. adopted a voluntary code, which, under the able direction of a manager for the industries involved, has functioned to the advantage of all members. Better prices have been obtained for prod ucts and price-cutting has been largely eliminated. Rapidly changing conditions in the legislative situa tion have created new problems which must be met and regulations for the industry must be brought in line with new requirements. Only by co-operation through out the boiler manufacturing and affiliated industries can these problems be solved. This is the entire basis on which every element of unfair competition can be elimi nated in the future. Mr. Brown concluded with the plea that this spirit of co-operation be the guiding force of the committee meetings which were to follow. At the general sessions, time was devoted to the presentation of several standing committee repons which follow: Committee ox Boiler Feed-Water Studies The Joint Research Committee on Boiler Feed-Water Studies is sponsored by the following six organizations: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers: The Edison Electric Institute: The American Railway En gineering Association: The American Water Works Association: The American Society for Testing Mate rials : The American Boiler Manufacturers Association. The work of the committee is being carried on under nine sub-committees which are: Sub-Committee 1.--Coagulation and Sedimentation. Sub-Committee 2.--Organic Chemicals as Internal Boiler Water Treatment. Sub-Committee 3.--Foaming and Priming. Sub-Committee 4.--Electrolytic Prevention of Scale and Corrosion. Sub-Committee 5.--Corrosion of Boiler and Effect of Treated Water in Accelerating or Relieving Corro sion, Sub-Committee 6.--Effect of Solution Composition on the Cracking of Boiler Metal. Sub-Committee 7.--Municipal Water Supplies in Re lation to Industrial Use. Sub-Committee $.--Standardization <>f Water Anal- \>i? Method?. Sub-Committee 9.--Review < Patent Literature >n tile Suhiec: of Boiler Water Treatment. With tiie exception <>; Sub-*. nuniiu-e 6 the wn-.-k >{ these commuter- t- at present :n-:ng carried on at iutie :k> exrru-'- tin- cmimitn" Because >i the nature and scope of the work carried on by Sub-Committee 6, special apparatus anexpert technicians have been required. Much Lt>.j work has been done and a two-year program or t-,, continuation of the woxk has Jjeeartaid om.-..Ti;-i.|ir,.. gram entails an expenditure of $7500 a year. Assum ing this expense equally divided among the six sponsor organizations an assessment of S1250 from each or ganization is indicated. An additional sum of $100 i. requested from each of the six organizations for tienera' committee expense. This fund will be used principal!-, for the printing and distribution of sub-comniittcv reports. The report was presented by committee members W F. Keenan. Jr., and B. J. Cross, representing the Amer ican Boiler Manufacturers' Association. A summary of the current knowledge on caustic em brittlement and a review of the activities of Sub-Com mittee 6 of the Joint Research Committee on Boiler FeedWater Studies was presented and will be published ir. the July issue. Other repons, all of which were presented by A. G. Weizel, Combustion Engineering Corporation. New York, follow: A.S.M.E. Boiler Code Conference Committee In order to keep abreast of the progress being made in the development of pressure vessels and of the ma terials of which they are constructed, the Boiler Code Committee of the American Society of Mechanical En gineers has made a number of necessary revisions and additions to the various sections of its code. Revisions of material specifications have been made in order to keep up-to-date with the corresponding revisions of the A.S.T.M. material specifications. In some instances, the Boiler Code Committee, after presentation of evi dence as to suitability, has approved revised or ne material specifications pending adoption by the A.S.T.M to permit their immediate use. Such action was taken to permit the use of steel containing a range of fro 0.25 to 0.60 molybdenum in the high-tensile steels covered by Specifications S-26 and S-27. The use ot molybdenum in these steels not only improves these characteristics for forming or working, but is also ad vantageous from the weldability standpoint. A special committee has been appointed to prepa revisions to Section VIII of the A.S.M.E. Boiler Co* on Unfired Pressure Vessels with the idea of >"c<' porating in the new section the best features of A.S.M.E. and A.P.I.-A.S.M.E. Code for Unfired in sure Vessels. The Boiler Code Committee has adopted tor cation, as proposed revisions, the report of ;JU` _ Committee on Ferrous Materials which covers the -nl"' < ahle stress at elevated temperatures tor the variou-' plate specifications.

Supero Siameei duplex hose for gas welding work ment which heretofore lias required two separate lengths. This hose is of Supero construction, with a special cord-wound reinforcement between the first and second braid, giving it a much higher bursting limit than ordinarv welding tubing--with the `/j-inch size the bursting pressure is 2000 pounds per square inch. This con struction permits the use of differing pressures in the two sides without torque or writhing. Supero Siameez hose is made with the individual conduits in different colors--red and black or red and green, for example--or with both the same color. The connecting web may be easily cut down with a car borundum wheel the distance required for attaching the hose to separate outlets.

Pa.. May 31 to June 3 to consider a course of action that will bring about this desirable result. In his opening address before the general meeting on June 1. attended by about 60 members, associates andguests. President Owsley Brown, of the Springfield Boiler Company, Springfiejd. 111., stressed the need for perpetuating the favorable policies developed during the N.R.A. period and subsequently. This industry, after the demise of N.I.R.A.. adopted a voluntary code, Because of the nature and scope of the work beincarried on hv Sub-Committee 6, special apparatus unexpert technicians have been required. Much ba>i work has l>een done and a two*year program tor tiv continuation of the work has .beendaki oui.-.3QiL-pr.. gram emails an expenditure of $7500 a year. Assum ing this expense equally divided among the six sponsor organizations an assessment of $1250 from each or ganization is indicated. An additional sum of $100 irequested from each of the six organizations for general committee expense. This fund will be used principal!*, for the priming and distribution of sub-comnmteireports. The report was presented by committee members W 19 1?9 wav- li *<;p!s\ vp* 6c m Bit which, under the able direction of a manager for the industries involved, has functioned to the advantage of all members. Better prices have been obtained for prod ucts and price-cutting has been largely eliminated. Rapidly changing conditions in the legislative situa tion have created new problems which must be met and regulations for the industry must be brought in line with new requirements. Only by co-operation through out the boiler manufacturing and affiliated industries can these problems be solved. This is the entire basis on F. Keenan. Jr., and B. J. Cross, representing the American Boiler Manufacturers' Association. A summary of the current knowledge on caustic em brittlement and a review of the activities of Sub-Com mittee 6 of the Joint Research Committee on Boiler FeedWater Studies was presented and will be published ir. the July issue. Other reports, all of which were presented by A. G. Weizel, Combustion Engineering Corporation. Xew York, follow: oh &BSJ. toe ear thei can r *6 t\ which every element of unfair competition can be elimi nated in the future. Mr. Brown concluded with the A.S.M.E. Boiler Code Conference Committee tov \a\ plea that this spirit of co-operation be the guiding force of the committee meetings which were to follow. At the general sessions, time was devoted to the presentation of several standing committee reports which follow: Committee on* Boiler Feed-Water Studies The Joint Research Committee on Boiler Feed-Water Studies is sponsored by the following six organizations: In order to keep abreast of the progress being made in the development of pressure vessels and of the ma terials of which they are constructed, the Boiler Code Committee of the American Society of Mechanical En gineers has made a number of necessary revisions and additions to the various sections of its code. Revision* of material specifications have been made in order tc keep up-to-date with the corresponding revisions of the A.S.T.M. material specifications. In some instances, te tav B- Itti k> kn ufci The American Society of Mechanical Engineers: The the Boiler Code Committee, after presentation of evi Edison Electric Institute; The American Railway En gineering Association: The American Water Works Association: The American Society for Testing Mate rials : The American Boiler Manufacturers Association.

Sub-Committee 2.--Organic Chemicals as Internal Boiler Water Treatment. Sub-Committee 3.--Foaming and Priming. dence as to suitability, has approved revised or ne material specifications pending adoption by the A.S.T.M to permit their immediate use. Such action was taken to permit the use of steel containing a range of fro 0.25 to 0.60 molybdenum in the high-tensile steel* covered by Specifications S-26 and S-27. The use ot molybdenum in these steels not only improves tlircharacteristics for forming or working, but is a*?0 aU` vantageous from the weldability standpoint.

This hose is of Supero construction, with a special cord-wound reinforcement between the first and second braid, giving it a much higher bursting limit than ordi nary welding tubing--with the Va -inch size the bursting pressure is 2000 pounds per square inch. This con struction jiernihs the use of differing pressures in the two sides without torque or writhing.
