ABSTRACT:
A conversion kit for modifying a single car test device regulator valve, such as to provide an adjustable maximum test operating pressure in one position of the regulator valve handle, and a reduced operating test pressure in another handle position of the regulator valve that is less than the maximum test operating pressure by a predetermined amount, in order to satisfy the requirements of a new test procedure mandated by the Association of American Railroads for more accurately utilizing the results of a leakage test as an indication of the operating condition of the car control valve during the single car test.
