The feasibility of making conicity assessments from simple manual measurements of wheels and rails (RR-TRS-98-026)

Last updated on 13 August 2014 10:10

The conicity of any wheel/rail system is a complex function which is dependent upon the fit between the wheel and rail profiles. An accurate determination of the conicity at any specific wheel/rail interface can only be obtained by means of precise measurements of the wheel and rail profiles, and analysis...
