    摘要: A test procedure for inspecting a vehicle adapted to transport commodities. This procedure includes the steps of inspecting a lining disposed in a tank of a tank car and comparing crack, blister, and corrosion conditions on the liner with predetermined models. These predetermined models convey a discrete range of severity levels of cracks, blisters, and corrosion conditions and permit determination of a severity level for the compared condition(s). The severity level for the condition is then documented. Standardization of inspection findings facilitates trending analysis of each tank car or vessel lining to determine when requalification of a given lining should be carried out, thus improving the safety with which commodities (including regulated hazardous materials) are shipped and stored.

    摘要: A method of requalifying a rail born tank car adapted to transport includes inspecting the tank car in accord with a selected one of a plurality of procedures, each procedure delineating and defining a pre-determined plurality of inspections and test. Inspection data obtained from the predetermined series of steps and tests is input into a computer-readable storage medium, where it is related by a computer having at least one processor, to secondary data, such as ownership data, lease status data, rental status data, and/or transported commodity data. Based on this relation, the computer computes a requalification date for the tank car based on the input inspection data and the secondary data. This requalification date is output to at least one of a computer-readable storage medium, a display device, and a physical print media inclusive of an outer surface of the tank car.
