examines the running surface and running edge of the rail.

Able to detect flaws in real time, ultrasonic testing is the most popular method used totest for defects in the rail‘s head, web and base. In
addition to recording any internal irregularities, the latest inspection systems can also detect squats, deep head checksand corrosion on
the rail base.

Accept
the original profile from the rail library. This procedure provides important information about wear.

Longitudinal profile measurements
This system for detecting short-wave defects in the rail head measures all corrugations of between 10 mm and 1 meter.

Switch measurements
(https://www.vossl
When taking switch measurements, the parameters on the tracks and points such as track gauge, cant, groove width and distortion are
