PROJECT MANAGER: Name • Phone • email Funding, FY20: 540,000 Project Duration: October 2018 – September 2021

COST & SCHEDULE

Transportation Technology Center, Inc.

Tank car industry and stakeholders NDE equipment OEMs

PROJECT PARTNERS

Provides inspection reliability – a key consideration in the safety and operations of tank cars.

Increases safety through technological development.

Addresses industry needs in the areas of maintenance, inspection, and damage tolerance.

Quantification of the NDE methods through POD metrics provides direction and insight into the current capabilities of the industry when using the allowed NDE methods.

Provides for operator and procedure qualifications.

RAILROAD IMPACT

Disseminate prior NDE probability of detection (POD) results/findings with the tank car industry and stakeholders.

Conduct a feasibility study to identify the capabilities/limitations of new and advanced NDE methods for tank car inspections.

Investigate the effects of corrosion on railroad tank car structures and the potential use of state-of-the-art NDE methodologies for remaining tank car shell thickness measurement.

Gather information on the newer types of tank cars and the common failure modes and determine if newer weld test panels are needed for future POD studies.
