PROTECTION OF MATERIALS. PROTECTION OF THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE BODIES OF OPEN WAGONS AND OF SPECIAL WAGONS OF VARIOUS TYPES

An account of the investigations into the protection of the interior surfaces of the bodies of open wagons was given in Report No E 17/RP 23 (October 1964). Tests with wagons made is possible to ascertain that there are products which provide such a protection resulting in the extension of the life of the steel panels. However, tests on a large scale were desirable to enable more experience to be gained. The replies to an inquiry launched in 1968 are summarised in the tables of this report. This inquiry enables the Committee to issue recommendations for the protection of the interior surfaces of open wagons.
