Transportability Testing of 6,000-Gallon Water Distributor

Abstract

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS), Evaluation Division (SMCAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM), AMSTA-ISFA, to perform a rail impact test for the 6,000-Gallon Water Distributor fabricated by E. D. Entyre and Co. From information provided, the Storage and Outloading Division (SMCAC-DEO), developed tiedown procedures for transporting the 6,000-Gallon Distributor on a flatcar. These procedures were then tested to Association of American Railroads (AAR) Rail Impact test requirements. The 6,000-Gallon Water Distributor, as tied down on a flat car, passed these requirements. The results of these tests are contained in this report.
