    摘要: A rail joint bar, comprising: a first side and a second side; wherein the first side has a longitudinal axis and a first outer surface curved convexly or concavely along the longitudinal axis and wherein the first outer surface defines a rounded shape conforming to and fitting within a concavely or convexly curved channel of a side of a curved railroad rail joint, wherein the concavely or convexly curved channel is defined by a web, a head and a foot of the railroad rail joint; and wherein the second side has a second outer surface that has a flat surface following the same curvature of the first side.

    摘要: A spraying apparatus for applying a friction modifying fluid to a railroad rail, comprising: a nozzle body disposed in a housing; a fluid inlet conduit in fluid communication with an opening in housing; a fluid inlet disposed in the housing in fluid communication with a first fluid conduit defined by or disposed in the nozzle body; wherein the first fluid conduit runs from fluid inlet to a hollow nozzle tip body disposed on and protruding through a bottom of housing and wherein fluid inlet is also disposed below, and in fluid communication with, the fluid inlet conduit; a control fluid supply line and an atomizing fluid supply line each partially disposed in the housing and each having respective portions external of the housing for connecting with the same fluid supply or respective fluid supplies; wherein the control fluid supply line injects a pressurized control fluid against a piston assembly disposed in a piston cavity; wherein the piston assembly carries stopper needle which is biased towards hollow nozzle tip body by a spring so that the needle closes a nozzle tip opening of hollow nozzle tip body; wherein the atomizing fluid supply line provides a pressurized atomizing fluid into hollow nozzle tip body to atomize the first fluid supplied by the first fluid conduit into the hollow nozzle tip body via a fluid cap disposed on the hollow nozzle tip body; wherein in operation the control fluid supply line and the atomizing fluid supply line are operated simultaneously while the first fluid is supplied by the first fluid conduit into the hollow nozzle tip body via a fluid cap such that the pressurized control fluid injected by control fluid supply line against a piston assembly displaces needle out of the nozzle tip opening and allows the first fluid to exit out of the nozzle tip opening where the first fluid is atomized by the pressurized atomizing fluid supplied by the atomizing fluid supply line.

    摘要: An automatic fluid sampling system, comprising: a sample flow-through conduit in fluid communication with a fast loop or slip stream off of a fluid process line or pipe, a solenoid or other valve disposed for regulating fluid flow from the fast loop line into the sample flow-through conduit; a flow meter in fluid communication with sample flow-through conduit for measuring a volume of a sample allowed to flow through the sample flow-through conduit by the solenoid or other valve; and a sample fluid outlet from which the sample measured by the flow meter exits the sample flow-through conduit.
