An evaluation of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods, authorized for use in replacing the current hydrostatic pressure test for qualification or re-qualification of railroad tank cars, has been performed by the Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI), a subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads (AAR). The project was accomplished through funding provided by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and cooperative efforts from the tank car industry. The objectives of the Tank Car NDE program have been to; Observe, review, and document previously performed industry related work; Baseline current NDE processes allowed for use in railroad tank car inspection; Develop a validation methodology for the NDE processes; Introduce a standard process to determine the probability of detection (POD) for the NDE methods; and Establish the Tank Re-qualification and Inspection Center (TRIC) at TTC.
