Provide methodologies and processes to monitor liquid tank car movements’ quantity loss/gain (L/G) ratios,level, and/or quality differences for tank car measurement systems. This document does not establish an industry standard for L/G ratios or level, but under normal operating conditions the standard will assist the user to identify L/G of any tank car system. It will assist to determine:
— ratio or level deviations,
— patterns or trends,
— liquid quality.
This document will also make available operational and statistically based tools to:
— identify when a system exhibits a deviation from its normal operating conditions,
— guidelines for identifying the causes of the deviation from its normal operating perimeters.
