(Avon, MA) Cuming Corporation has shipped 8 C-FLOAT buoys to Delmar Systems, Inc. of New Iberia for deepwater anchor systems in the Gulf of Mexico. The buoys, which provide 60,000 lbs. of net buoyancy to a depth of 4,000 feet, were designed, manufactured, and delivered in only three months time.

(Avon, MA) Cuming Corporation announces that it has been informed by Shell that the subsea flowline recently coated by Cuming with its proprietary C-THERM syntactic foam insulation is now operational. The flowline is part of the Shell operated King Subsea Project located in Mississippi Canyon Block 807 in the Gulf of Mexico.

Cuming Corporation, the Avon, MA-based manufacturer of syntactic foam buoyancy and insulation products, has completed a year-long expansion of its facilities that doubled factory floor space and more than doubled production capacity. The company now operates the largest and most modern factory devoted to the manufacture of these highly specialized products, as well as the most capable and sophisticated hydrostatic testing facility in the world. The $.5 million project was in part funded by a Commonwealth of Massachusetts Industrial Revenue Bond.

Cuming Corporation, a leading supplier of syntactic foam buoyancy and insulation products, has manufactured and delivered approximately six miles of thermal insulation to Shell Deepwater Development Inc. for the King field flowlines in the Gulf of Mexico. The insulation is made from syntactic foam, a lightweight composite material consisting of tiny glass microspheres and larger fiberglass macrospheres in a rigid plastic binder. Syntactic foam combines highly efficient thermal insulation with excellent resistance to long-term exposure to hydrostatic pressure. The King insulation system is rated for twenty years of service at a depth of 1,000 meters (3,300 feet).

(Avon, MA) Cuming Corporation, a leading supplier of syntactic foam buoyancy modules for the offshore oil industry, played a significant role in two recent drilling depth records with its C-FLOAT syntactic foam modules.

Cuming Microwave Corporation announces an improved C-RAM MT product line. C-RAM MT is now manufactured using a different coating that prevents 'black rub-off.' With many carbon treated foams, a main concern is carbon dusting into electronics and onto other surfaces.

If you are having problems with RF signal leakage, device compatibility or cavity resonance in the 100 MHz to 40 GHz range, the RF Problem Solver Kit is your solution. The RF Problem Solver Kit provides several of the most commonly used materials. All are provided with a peel-and-stick pressure sensitive adhesive film; simply cut the absorber to size, stick it in place.

Cuming Microwave Corporation has introduced its C-RAM AR and C-RAM MT absorbers for RF-modes suppression in cabinets and base stations.

In the fall of 1999, Cuming Microwave Corporation completed a fully compliant 3-Meter range for emission and susceptibility testing.
