the teardrop that tore steel One little tear of colorless liquid... so corrosive it quickly eats into steel! Corrosive enough to etch glass! Yet every day—year-in, year-out— torrents of this Hydrofluoric Acid and other acids, alkalis and organic ^solvents flow through uniquely designed Powell Corrosion-Resistant Valves in Chemical and Process Industry plants throughout the free world. With Powell Corrosion-Resistant Valves, you get maximum operational life, little or no maintenance. Because Powell pioneered the field of Corrosion-Resistant Valves, and kept on pioneering to become the leader in valve engineering and metallurgical technology! Today, Powell provides valves in industry's most complete choice of metals—both ferrous and non-ferrous —for dependable flow control of virtually any element—oil, gas, air, steam or corrosive fluid. If you have a special flow control problem, call your Powell Distributor. Or, contact us. Powell Engineers will help you solve it.
Daily, versatile Powell 150-pound stainless steel gate valves find wide use in corrosive service for the chemical and process industries.

The International Conference on Materials to be held during the week of Feb. 3, 1964, will have as its theme "The Impact of Modern Physics on Materials." The conference will be held in conjunction with an open house at the new headquarters building of the American Society for Testing and Materials in Philadelphia. The meeting will coincide with the 1964 ASTM Committee Week. Some of the areas being considered for inclusion on the program are thermonuclear power generation, masers and lasers, electromagnetic properties at cryogenic temperatures, plasmas, very high frequency ultrasonics, and the results being obtained with some of the newer methods of analysis. In each case, the emphasis will be on materials problems. The invited papers will present new contributions. No review papers will be included.
