PREFACE
The examination of coaching stock becoming more and more crucial with the
induction of high-speed coaching stock, new type of coaching stock and running of more and
more Passengers rakes. Coaching stock examination is a safety-related work. The artisan and
supervisors involved in these safety works are supposed to be upto-date in respect of the
technical knowledge of the coaching stock. This is the reason of the growing importance of
BTC’s and STC’s where the technicians and supervisor are imparted training.
With a view to help the training centres to test the persons in the best possible ways,
CAMTECH has compiled a question bank on coaching stock, having more than 500
questions. The question bank is also provided with answers and the sources from where the
answers have been taken from.
Further to make the questionnaire truly interactive and to serve as a yardstick to gauge
the grasp on the subject of the trainees, quiz based test software has been developed as a
supplement to the compiled question bank. This software will serve the wider objective of
trainer’s tool for assessment of candidate’s progress.
The computer software is based on the question bank compiled. So, this question bank
and the related software are supplement to each other. It is hoped that the question bank and
the software will prove to be very useful in the training centres and also in the field.
CAMTECH is thankful to all those who extended their help in the preparation of this
project.

APPENDIX – I
1.0 GENERAL: - To detect the possible failure at an early stage, it is necessary to test the
complete coach and the equipment for found leakage.
The complete coach shall be tested on the test rig and the equipment shall be tested on the
rack.
It is important to ensure that the entire test bench is pressure tight.
1.1.1 Connect BP and FP of test coach to BP and FP of test ring keeping the
other end of BP & FP on the test coach closed.
1.1.2 Charge BP at 5.0 Kg/cm2 & FP at 6.0 Kg/ cm2 for 5.0 minutes.
1.1.3 Close the test rig cock and watch the pressure drop for 3.0 minutes in the
pressure gauges of BP & FP in the test rig.
1.1.5 joints/ connection to equipment shall be tested with soap water for
ascertaining leakage and rectify the leak.
1.2.1 Connect BP & FP of test coach with BP & FP of test rig keeping, BP &
FP of the other end closed.
1.2.3 Make a pressure drop of 0.4 Kg/cm2 in 6 seconds for sensitivity test &
3.5 Kg/cm2 & 0.0 Kg/cm2 for service and emergency application
respectively.
1.2.4 Ensure that all the brake blocks are on applied position with the piston
travel of 50 to 100 mm.
1.2.5 Charge the system again with 5.0 Kg/cm2 it should be observed that piston
return to its original position & brakes released.
1.2.6 In all the above test, the control dimension ‘A’ shall be dept as 22+4/ -0
mm.
2.3 OBSERVE
2.3.2 Air from BP exhausted to atmosphere through alarm valve situated on the
under frame with hissing sound.
2.4 Reset the alarm signal disc with the help of resetting key.
3.3 OBSERVE
3.3.1 Air from BP exhausted to atmosphere though alarm valve situated on the
under frame with hissing sound.
3.6 Create a drop in pressure in feed pipe watch the performance of the FP gauge that
is the quantum of pressure drop indicated in the gauge.
APPENDIX – II
1.0 The following tests are to be conducted in every round the trip of the rake –
(i) A Visual inspection shall be carried out to check for any damage on brake or feed
pipe, hose coupling etc. the suspension brackets for air brake equipment’s and
antipilferage device provided shall also be cheeked at this time of any defects(s)
is/are noticed the same be attended.
(ii) Leakage test for brake pipe and feed pipe and it’s connecting pipes to equipment.
2.0 The test mentioned at (ii) & (iii) above can be done simultaneously. following is the
procedure –
(i) Connect the brake pipe and feed pipe of test rig to the brake pipe and feed pipe of
first coach of the rake through hose coupling.
(ii) Charge the system with compressed air to the full pressure of 5.0 Kg/cm2 for
brake pipe and 6.0 Kg/cm2 for feed pipe and stabilizer for 2 minutes.
(iii) Cut off, the supply of compressed air by inperting isolating cock for brake pipe
and feed pipe of the test rig.
(iv) Watch the drip in pressure due to leak in the pressure gauge of the test rig for 3
minutes and record the drip in pressure.
(v) The drip in pressure due to leakage more then 0.2 Kg/cm2 per minutes indicate
that there is leakage in the system.
(vi) If there is leakage in the system, then the coach should be carefully examines and
clearly identified for leakage with the help of soap water or hissing sound etc. and
must be rectified.
(vii) After attending the leakage, charged the system to the required pressure. open
cock of brake pipe and feed pipe of rig and make a service application by
reducing the brake pipe pressure by 1.5 Kg/cm2 .
(viii) Simultaneously the piston strokes of the brake cylinder of the entire rake shall be
checked. The piston should be in applied position. The piston strokes shall be
recorded.
(ix) After the above test, release the brakes by recharging the brake pipe to 5.0 Kg/cm2
(x) After releasing the brakes, it should be ensured that piston of all the brake
cylinders returned back to release position and brakes are in fully released
condition.
(xi) In case, any defect is noticed the defective components may be rectified or
replaced.
APPENDIX – III
TEST PROCEDURE: -
1.1 Charge the system with 5.0 Kg/cm2 in BP (brake pipe) and 6.0 FP Kg/cm2 (feed
pipe).
1.3 Watch the pressure in the guard’s van valve and see that this should not exceed
0.2 Kg/cm2 of the pressure in the test rig/loco. Rectify the leakage if exists.
1.4 Operate the handle of the guard’s van valve and ensure its smooth working.
1.5 Watch the exhaust of air though the vent of the guard’s van valve by hissing
sound.
1.6 Watch the movement of the brake cylinder piston of this coach.
1.7 All the brake vans of the rake should be tested individually.
2.1 Charge the brake pipe with 5.0 Kg/cm2 and 6.0 Kg/cm2 feed pipe.
2.3 Check the working of emergency alarm signal equipment (Pilot valve) fitted on
the end wall and passenger emergency valve fitted in the under frame of the
coach. Hissing sound should come from these equipment due to exhaust of air.
2.6 After the resetting with the help of key, the exhaust of air from pilot valve and
actuating valve should stop. if it dose not stop the passenger emergency valve
should be opened, cleaned for dust and refitted or the same be replaced by a new
valve.
2.7 The above tests are to be done for each coach of the rake.
3.1 Charge the brake pipe and feed pipe with 5.0 Kg/cm2 and 6.0 Kg/cm2
respectively.
3.2 Simulate emergency brake application by reducing the BP pressure to 0.0 Kg/cm2.
3.3 Pull the release lever fitted below the distributor valve with a kick.
3.4 Watch the exhaust of air through the vent of the distributor valve.
3.5 Watch the brake cylinder piston returning back to the release position.
3.6 Manual release test should be done to every coach of the rake.
4.2 The audio-visual indication provided in guard’s compartment and red light
indicator provided outside of each coach shall also periodically attended by
electric Department for its satisfactory working.
