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 carand comparing crack, blister, and corrosion conditions on the liner with predeterminedmodels. These predetermined models convey a discrete range of severity levels ofcracks, blisters, and corrosion conditions and permit determination of a severity level forthe compared condition(s). The severity level for the condition is then documented.Standardization of inspection findings facilitates trending analysis of each tank car orvessel lining to determine when requalification of a given lining should be carried out,thus improving the safety with which commodities (including regulated hazardousmaterials) are shipped and stored.
