ACR will launch Pathfinder PRO search and rescue radar transponder

As an important complement to the merchant shipping kit, ACR Electronics will launch the Pathfinder PRO search and rescue radar (product library supply) transponder at the International Oil and Gas Exhibition (OTC) in Houston, USA this year. This new search and rescue transponder will expand the coverage of commercial ship marine surviving products offered by ACR.

         The Pathfinder PRO search and rescue transponder is not only a fully certified search and rescue radar transponder that meets the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) SOLAS, but also for all merchant ships that are forced to carry search and rescue radar transponders, including Ships required by the Global Maritime Advance and Safety System and merchant ships carrying more than one lifeboat (purchased by the product bank).

         ACR's manual search and rescue radar transponders can be used for ships, lifeboats and life rafts (purchasing supplies), which greatly enhances search and rescue efforts. The search and rescue radar transponder can transmit a series of pulses displayed on the ship's radar with a single point line, providing a guide for the surviving ship. When the power is turned on (the product library is available for purchase), the search and rescue radar transponder is still in standby mode until it is automatically activated by X-band radar scanning from any nearby vessel.

         In the case of radar, the user-replaceable lithium battery will provide more than 96 hours of operational life in standby mode and provide a 12-hour effective life. The battery has a five-year shelf life before its energy is greatly reduced. In addition to replacing the battery, the Pathfinder PRO search and rescue radar transponder does not require maintenance until the marked expiration date. The compact Pathfinder PRO search and rescue radar transponder for simplified liferaft packaging provides the same mountable storage rack along with a black telescopic rod that can be quickly and easily assisted with maximum height and visibility beyond the liferaft. Search and rescue radar transponder bottom link.

         The search and rescue radar transponder is water resistant to a depth of 110 meters and operating temperatures between -20 ° C and +55 ° C. Gerry Angeli, president of ACR Electronics, pointed out that "As a device forcibly installed by most merchant ships, the search and rescue radar transponder is a very important safety device that can directly increase the probability of survivors in emergency situations. Therefore, we are very happy. Introducing the Pathfinder PRO search and rescue radar transponder to merchant operators. The company will introduce Pathfinder 3 search and rescue radar transponders with various capabilities. The company will provide the latest components and developed prices to ensure its compact, easy to use and maintain. Reasonable PRO search and rescue radar transponder."

Weld Materials

1.Welding materials

In Welding, substances called filler materials or consumables are used. As the name implies, these substances provide filler or a body of molten materials that provides a strong bond to be formed between the base metals used. Most welding processes will also require some form of shielding to protect both the main components and filler from being oxidized during the process.


The type of welding materials used during welding depends on the nature of the job intended. Electrodes draw the necessary energy in order to perform welding applications. Luoyang Golden Egret Company has any kind of welding materials include CTC Welding Rod /rope, SCTC welding rod/rope, TC electronic welding rod, Ni-based welding rod, flux-cored Welding Wires, solid welding wires and etc.

Welding can be applied in different kinds of industries such as building and construction, oil and gas, marine, power generation, steel, mine tools, automobile, transportation and etc.


2. Welding rod
