An overview of the current state of the railroad track scale infrastructure and its traceability will be discussed, along with metrology lab capabilities required to achieve traceability to the SI for railroad track weight cart measurements. We will review relevant documentary standards for the regulation process, including tolerances, for a railroad track scale. Active participation is encouraged, including open discussion of challenges and best practices in this area.

CLASS INFORMATION

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

IDENTIFY gaps in the current state of the railroad track scale national infrastructure and traceability
EXPLAIN to peers and management the lab metrology capabilities that are required to offer calibration services to railroad track weight cart customers
DISCUSS with peers the relevant documentary standards applicable to railroad track scales in weights and measures.
