Federal regulations require tank car equipment owners to develop and manage a reliability-based maintenance program, to collect maintenance data, and to perform an analysis of the data to support the inspection and test intervals marked on the tank. While many RSI member companies have maintenance and reliability programs in place, the members recognized that new equipment owners may benefit from the expertise of RSI’s members in developing and implementing such a program. The RSI Committee on Tank Cars – Technical Sub Committee (CTC-TSC) has developed a voluntary best practice for reliability, RSI-300.
Join RSI’s upcoming webinar to learn more about the RSI-300 and how you can implement the best practice.
