Abstract:

As part of a research program to improve transportation safety for tank cars carrying hazardous materials, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) sponsored Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (now MxV Rail) and the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) to test and analyze the side impact puncture performance of a DOT-113 tank car filled with cryogenic liquid nitrogen (LN2). The research team conducted the impact test on May 14, 2022. All test requirements were met. Researchers performed both pre-test and post-test analyses of the impact response to evaluate, validate, and improve puncture modeling capabilities. This was the last in a series of four tests on DOT-113 tank cars and tank car surrogates sponsored by FRA.
