This standard practice describes overcoating of the exteriors of railcars. The purpose of this standard practice is to provide methods for testing and application of overcoating materials for the benefit of railcar owners, lessees, and maintenance providers who are charged with developing and executing programs for the maintenance painting of railcars.
This AMPP technical report is intended for use by North America-based rail car manufacturers, owners, operators, and repairers who are seeking guidance concerning DFT measurement of coatings applied to rail cars.
This AMPP technical report describes the current state of protecting the interiors of tank cars transporting crude oil. This report is intended for and will benefit all stakeholders involved in the protection of tank cars transporting crude oil, including large fleet tank car owners, crude oil coating suppliers, tank car coating applicators, and crude oil shippers. The current state of protecting the interiors of tank cars transporting crude oil was developed by conducting surveys of various stakeholders. This report summarizes the survey results.
This AMPP standard practice provides guidelines for qualifying personnel as abrasive blasters and coating and lining applicators in the rail industry. The intent of this standard is to foster personal growth of the individuals and technical continuity in the areas of surface preparation and coating and lining of railcar equipment. This standard outlines a formal system of training and qualification that recognizes the knowledge, skill, and technical competency of the individuals engaged in this work.
This standard is intended for use by employers, managers, and others in the rail industry who have a need for such guidelines in their efforts to provide suitable training and qualification of their abrasive blasters and coating and lining applicators to comply with regulations, meet customer requirements, and enhance the effectiveness of their operations.
This AMPP standard is specifically targeted for use by tank car owners, operators, and repairers who are seeking guidanceincomplyingwithfederalregulationsregardinginteriorcoating/liningconditiondatacollectionandanalysis.It should be noted that issues similar to those discussed here may arise with other bulk liquid transportation containers, and this document may find applicability in those areas as well.
This standard practice encompasses the requirements for expert application of a quality coating system to exterior surfaces of steel rail cars that have been prepared in accordance with a specified, recognized standard. It is intended to complement NACE SP0386 and NACE SP0295.
Qualified inspection of the completed coating system and testing by the use of adequate, readily available instruments are also covered in this standard. Coating manufacturers, coating applicators, and those who have contracting authority for rail car coating installation should be able to use this standard to determine the facilities, equipment, and personnel needed to satisfy the requirements for rail car exterior coating systems.
