ABSTRACT:
A tool is provided which permits the removal and replacement of a defective axle box in a flow meter or volume-pressure corrector ("system member") without disturbing downstream consumers of the fluid (e.g., gas), under pressure, passing through the system, such tool having an orientable flange for connecting directly to the flat upper surface of the member, such flange being supported on a second end of a first pipe, the first end of which is threaded to receive a second pipe having therein gas impervious stuffing with a coaxial hole therethrough to receive, with a hermetic seal, the shaft of an element-removal portion of the tool, such shaft having a socket affixed to one end thereof and a handle removable attached to the other end, such second pipe having a threaded end for connecting to said first pipe and a selectively operable bleed-hole located in its wall between said threaded end and said stuffing to permit safe and controlled release of gas from said second pipe after the socket of said removal tool has been withdrawn to a point on the stuffing side of a gate valve in the first pipe, when the first and second pipes are connected, the removable handle on said shaft making it possible to engage an axle box with the socket on the shaft and then slide the shaft through the hole in the stuffing and assemble the overall tool in position with the flange bolted to the flat surface of the member, to provide a tool with maximum safety and efficiency but with minimum complexity.
