A pushing-dispensing and/or dosing element for dispensing of medium, in particular Composite Heavy Fluid Compound (CHFC), solves the technical problem of implantation of avoiding and/or limiting sliding and/or moving parts, exposed to the heavy medium, such as CHFC, thereof by using a flexible cartridge that behaves one way during the pushing of the CHFC, and another way during pumping of said CHFC out of the tank in which it is held.

A friction control composition having high and positive frictional properties for sliding steel surfaces includes a water insoluble hydrocarbon that enables a reduced water content, a rheological additive, a freezing point depressant, a friction modifier, and a lubricant.

A pushing-dispensing and/or dosing element for dispensing of medium, in particular Composite Heavy Fluid Compound (CHFC) or plurality thereof, solves technical problem of implantation of a pushing-dispensing and/or dosing element that will not have sliding and/or moving parts, or it will have a limited number of said sliding and/or moving parts essentially exposed to medium, preferably CHFC, or plurality thereof by using a flexible cartridge that behaves differently during the pushing of CHFC, and differently during pumping of said CHFC's out of the tank in which they are held.

A gauge-face lubrication assembly and related methods of use in which a removable and replaceable applicator member is positioned proximate a gauge-face for lubrication of a rail member. Generally, the replaceable applicator member can be molded of a resilient polymeric material having shaped-memory properties. The replaceable applicator member includes one or more molded lubricant channels for delivering lubricant supplied by a lubrication system to the gauge-face. Each molded lubricant channel can include a molded seal for sealably engaging a lubrication bracket that retains the applicator member in position against the gauge-face. The removable applicator member can further include a liner for physically engaging the gauge-face and protecting removable applicator member. The applicator member can include a coupling portion that insertably interfaces with a bracket channel defined in the lubrication bracket, whereby the applicator member can be removed and replaced in the event of damage or wear.

An apparatus and system for applying lubricant to a rail road track having a control module, a housing, a lubricant distribution block, and a plurality of tubes for connecting the control module to the housing wherein the housing houses the lubricant distribution block. The control module is positionable in close proximity to the rail road track and the housing is positionable adjacent to and along a section of rail road track to be lubricated. The lubricant is stored in a vessel in the control module and pumped from the control module to a lubricant distribution nozzle connected to the housing and wherein sliding the lubricant distribution nozzle along the section of rail road track in a first direction distributes lubricant along the section of rail road track and then the block returns to a first position.
