A transportation subassembly is disclosed for transporting a material that is destabilized in the presence of a destabilizing contaminant. The subassembly has a structural body having a cavity constructed and arranged to receive the material to be stored, a breather assembly operatively connected to the structural body and including a container forming a chamber, the chamber being in fluidic communication with the cavity and being constructed and arranged to receive an contaminant-removing material selected to remove the destabilizing contaminant, and a venting assembly mounted with respect to the structural body. The venting assembly includes a rupture apparatus rupturable at a predetermined pressure formed within the cavity to form fluidic communication between the cavity and the atmosphere. A method for transporting a material in a transportation subassembly is also disclosed. A structural body having a cavity for storing the material to be transported and a rupture apparatus rupturable at a pressure formed within the cavity is used. The method includes inspecting the cavity for defects and for destabilizing impurities; dry air purging the cavity; loading the material into the cavity; activating a breather assembly to restrict destabilizing impurities from within the cavity; operatively connecting a dry air line to the cavity to form fluidic communication between the cavity and the storage compartment; and maintaining the breather assembly in an activated position to maintain the cavity in a pure condition. |

End adapter for railcar pneumatic outlet |

An adapter (10) is useful to prevent formation of a static electrical change on an outlet valve (V) during discharge of lading from a railcar on which the valve is installed. A unitary member (12) has an inlet end (14) formed for attachment to the outlet valve, and an outlet end (16) formed for connection with a hose (H) into which discharged lading flows. A passage (28) is formed in the member and extends from the inlet end to the outlet end. The passageway is of an irregular shape at the inlet end of the adaptor. It is of a generally circular shape at its outlet end. The member is formed of an electrically non-conductive, resilient material so that it prevents the build-up of any static electrical charge as lading flows through the member. |

A rail car unloading aspiration unit includes a rail car nozzle for providing air conduits for feeding conditioned air to the rail car and for withdrawing air therefrom, ambient air being drawn between a weather shield, hood or cover and a fan chamber mounted on a heating chamber which forces ambient air to pass through a filter and be heated within the range of approximately 77.degree. F.-95.degree. F. The heated air is passed in proximity to ultra violet lamps after which the air is directed into the rail car nozzle and expelled into the interior of the rail car head surface above the product being unloaded. During the time that power is applied to the aspiration unit, the fan forces air to be drawn into the unit and conditioned, and the ultra violet lamps remain on. However, the heaters are selectively activated or deactivated as a function of the temperature of the incoming air in order to maintain the temperature of the air within the desired ranged prior to being exposed to the ultra violet lamps. |

ROLLINS DALLAS W; DUGGE RICHARD H |
A safety relief valve structure for a railway car having an enclosed shell which is adapted to be placed under an internal fluid pressure, especially for unloading particulate lading. A pilot-operated safety valve on the car has a main valve inlet communicating directly with the interior of the car, and a separate pilot line provides fluid communication between the interior of the car and the safety relief valve for controlling the operation of the valve. A filter is positioned in the separate pilot line and minimizes any passage of air entrained lading to the safety valve through the pilot line. The filter comprises a housing and a filter element within the housing through which the air and any entrained lading particles pass. The filter element has a micron rating between around five and 25 to entrap lading particles of a micron size greater than the micron rating of the filter element.
