Track Measurement and Analysis

Weld Inspection

Ultrasonic testing involves emitting high pitched waves into the welded section of rail in order to detect internal flaws.

Ultrasonic Weld Testing product overview

This comprehensive test is carried out on the head, web and foot to provide a detailed analysis of the entire weld.

  • This allows the user to determine whether or not the weld has confirmed to the specifications of the rail network
