A gauge design to make quick conicity measurements (RR-TRS-98-156)

Last updated on 13 August 2014 10:10

Feasibility studies have established that a combination of rail head curvature and track gauge measurements correlates well with conicities derived from accurate profile measurements. A computation of track gauge + 13 times the mean versine of the two rail heads, can provide a "quick conicity" assessment of the track. This...
