    Oh, I just love these corporate videos they're so unbelievably living in a "dream world". Not like the plants I worked in where previous workers' "lose" tools, or generally destroy them for the next guy (me!). Overtighten, and strip fasteners, or simply half-ass assemble them. Why don't these companies show how to "deal" with these everyday occurances instead. Then it would be more realistic to know what to do.

    A couple times starting at maybe 23:00, we see a pressure gauge reading a low number, nearing zero. Is this a pressure gauge on the car or on another location in the system? I'm wondering about the risk of a vacuum forming.

    • @beeble2003
      @beeble2003 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The pressure shown is pressure above atmospheric. So zero means atmospheric pressure, and a vacuum would be about -15psi.

      It's OK to say ex. You can can also use a realistic weight. The best is the trunk of a vehicle with a bunch of tires. Heck, add some lithium batteries for extra cover up.
      At least that's what TV taught me.

    How long would it take to empty a full tank car ?? And will there be any left or does it completely empty the tanker ?

    • @elfnetdesigns702
      @elfnetdesigns702 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on temperature, the product viscosity and the unloading method (pressure or pumping). There is almost always a little product left that cannot be unloaded via the pressure method where pumping you can get most of it if you unload from the bottom.

    • @royreynolds108
      @royreynolds108 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The best method to unload a tank car is to pump or syphon then connect a hose to the bottom and finish draining the car.

      First responders will normally contact the train crew to obtain a copy of the manifest, or what the train is carrying, especially if the train is carrying hazardous materials. www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/publications/tr-094.pdf
      Although this is from 2003, this part holds true.

      Joey V,
      That's a bad judgement though, because the tanker still could have minute traces (even a few gallons) of product inside, which is enough to pose a hazard.

      Seriously. There are dozens of jobs that are more oppressive, more dangerous, and/or tougher. Delivering sulfuric acid doesn't seem to be that hard, and doesn't seem to be too dangerous if everything is done correctly.
