Truck Trader UK | Trucking News | Port of Felixstowe Applies to Upgrade Branch Line - (december 2005) (324 words) |
 | The TWA order would authorise the dualling of a four and a quarter mile section of the branch line, and the construction of three additional 24-wagon sidings within the existing Ipswich marshalling yard. |
 | The upgrade of the Felixstowe Branch Line is linked with the proposals, currently with Government, to reconfigure Felixstowe South. |
 | Subject to the necessary approvals, it is expected that the improved Felixstowe Branch Line would be fully operational by the end of 2009. |

Method and apparatus for splitting two-phase flow at pipe tees - Patent 4522218 (2506 words) |
 | The quality of branch line flow may be monitored and control valves positioned in one or more takeoff pipes and in the branch line to facilitate branch line flow of variable quality and rate. |
 | This phenomenon occurs at pipeline branch points where a takeoff pipe extends radially outward from the axis of a trunk line (that is, substantially perpendicularly to the axis of the truck line). |
 | These relative diameters are estimated by considering that the desired branch line quality for a given branch line flow rate is the average of the known takeoff flow qualities weighted by the respective takeoff flow rates and that the relative flow rates through the takeoffs are proportional to the relative cross-sectional areas of the takeoffs. |
