6.2 Piston Rod shall be made by closed die forging only under belt drop forged
hammer of adequate capacity capable of delivering minimum energy or force
required for deformation during closed die-forging of piston rod. Forging shall be
machined to get final shape.
6.3 Piston shall be duly machined and bolted/welded with Piston Rod by making
inside specified thread.
6.4 Yoke & Gland shall be made by milling and machining process.

7.0 Heat Treatment: Heat treatment of Piston Rod shall be done by induction
hardening of the piston rod to achieve case hardening of 30-35 HRC upto 1.25
mm depth.

8.0 Chromium plating: Hard chrome plating of 0.07-0.10mm shall be done to

provide hard, corrosion resistant surface of the piston rod.
9.0 Marking: Month and year of manufacture and manufacturer's code /
identification shall be engraved / embossed on the non-functioning surface of
Tamping Unit Sliding Cylinder of CSM.

10.0 Inspection and Acceptance Criteria:

i) Each components of assembly offered by manufacturer shall be checked

visually for their surface finish, freedom from defects like porosity, cracks,
improper edges etc. Machined surface shall be checked by any suitable
pneumatic or electronic equipment.

ii) The component found suitable after visual inspection, shall be checked
for their dimensions as per relevant drawing.

iii) Supplier shall produce the certificate that the raw material use for
manufacturing of the components conform to the specified materials as
mentioned in para 5.0.

iv) Manufacturer shall also produce a test result of chemical property/

analysis report of plate/bar/raw material used for manufacturing of the
component.

v) Minimum one no or 2 % sample of the piston rod randomly picked up out

of each lot of consignment before assembly and shall be subjected to
chemical composition test. The consignee shall test the material for
chemical composition at his laboratory or get the material tested in a
reputed laboratory having proper facilities for testing. Before sending the
samples for testing, the same shall be duly sealed and secret coding shall
be done.

vi) After found ok in all respect cylinders shall be assembled for pressure test
at 1.5 times working pressure 130kg/cm2 on test bench. There shall be no
leakage at any port after giving to and fro motion of the piston.

vii) Any deviations in the test result from the requirement of the specification
and drawing shall be the cause of rejection.

11.0 Packing and Protection: Each complete cylinder shall be supplied duly spray
painted (golden yellow) over a coat of primer which should be applied only after
making the surface smooth with the help of putty and shall be packed in card
board case.
