BRANCH PIPE TEE WITH INTEGRAL VOLUME FOR SHORT CARS

摘要

A branch pipe tee for a rail car having a length that is below standard. The branch pipe tee has a standard mount for connecting to the brake pipe and branch pipe as well as integral volume that compensates for the reduced brake pipe length of the rail car. The integral volume is dimensioned to make the effective brake pipe length of rail car fall within standard ranges so that the braking system of the rail car can perform normally and avoid the need for additional equipment to compensate for the length of the rail car.
