Download Application Note Safety is paramount for the railway industry, and one of the most important aspects of this is maintaining all railway tracks in a safe condition. While today's longer welded rails have made the ride much smoother than the shorter rails of old, they do make it more difficult to assess the condition of the lines. The standard test of the condition of any line is to exert ... More...
