colour contrast process penetrants, is the Checkmor C System. This set of products can be used to test surfaces up NDT Range to 200°C. This makes it ideal for use in a number of processes including sequential welding and testing plant while it is in Strengthened With use. Castrol has been at the forefront of NDT for 50 years, constantly innovating Three New Products to meet and anticipate the needs of the marketplace. Its range of penetrants is particularly comprehensive, covering all of the in the aerospace industry. CASTROL continues to demonstrate normal penetrant processes and levels innovation in the field of Non Destructive The Castrol MFH 250 is an easy-to- of sensitivity. Special materials, including Testing with the launch of three new use, robust tangential field strength high temperature penetrants, thixotropic products — two magnetic field meters meter, designed for the measurement of penetrants etc can also be supplied. and a high temperature Checkmor magnetic fields in air. A key feature is Apart fromthe Checkmor range of penetrant process for use in colour that the probe is already calibrated, colour contrast penetrants, Castrol also contrast processes. These products eliminating the need for the user to supplies an extensive range of fluorescent complement Castrol's extensive range standardise it before use.

CALEDONIAN Airmotive — the air craft engine overhaul and maintenance firm based at Prestwick Airport — has Aero Engine invested $¼ million in Davy Computing's MCC manufacturing control system to Repair upgrade its production scheduling at a time of rapid expansion. As an aero engine refurbishment centre Caledonian Airmotive serves dependent on the condition of the many of the world's civil airlines, with engines as we receive them, also on the varying workloads throughout each engines being shipped into Prestwick month. We need a system that will grow for repair. MCC will provide balanced scheduling of jobs to eliminate queues, as we grow and react quickly and prioritise work and forewarn of capacity accurately to changes in work input.
