Abstract
-
A metallurgical analysis of a steel plate sample (the South Byron sample) was requested by the Federal Railroad Administration. The steel sample was taken from a tank car (number PPGX9990) which had been involved in an accident near South Byron, New York. This sample was reported to have been produced to specification AAR-M-128-65-DTD-1966-Flange Quality-Grade B, and it was reportedly taken from the second course of shell plate of car number PPGX9990. The fracture in this course circumscribed the tank car and resulted in the division of the car into two sections. An investigation was conducted at the National Bureau of Standards to determine if the plate sample conformed with the above Association of American Railroads (AAR) Specifications for Tank Cars and to gather information pertinent to the question of the suitability of this type of steel for use as the shell plate of tank cars.
