About this file
This document summarizes a project proposal for nondestructive evaluation of railroad tank cars. The project would be managed by Transportation Technology Center, Inc. from October 2018 to September 2021 with $540,000 in funding for fiscal year 2020. It aims to disseminate prior nondestructive evaluation probability of detection results to tank car industry stakeholders. The project also seeks to conduct a feasibility study on new nondestructive evaluation methods for tank car inspections, investigate the effects of corrosion on tank car structures, and determine if newer weld test panels are needed for future probability of detection studies. Key partners include the tank car industry, nondestructive evaluation equipment original equipment manufacturers, and stakeholders. The project intends to improve inspection reliability, safety, and address industry needs in maintenance, inspection, and damage tolerance through technological development and quantification of nondestructive evaluation methods' capabilities.

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.
