About this file
The provided document appears to be a project description for a Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) of Railroad Tank Cars research initiative. The project is funded by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under the FY 2025 Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for research initiatives in support of rail safety. The project aims to address industry needs in the areas of maintenance, inspection, and damage tolerance of railroad tank cars. Key objectives include disseminating prior NDE probability of detection (POD) results, conducting feasibility studies on new NDE methods, investigating the effects of corrosion on tank car structures, and gathering information on newer tank car types and failure modes. The project is managed by the Transportation Technology Center, Inc. and involves collaboration with the tank car industry and NDE equipment OEMs. The project duration is from October 2018 to September 2021, with a funding allocation of $540,000 in FY 2020.

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.
