Rail weld geometry and assessment concepts

Last updated on 16 October 2014 11:33

Worldwide, metallurgical rail welds are being geometrically assessed by the principle of vertical deviations satisfying given tolerances, measured with steel straightedges or occasionally with digital/electronic straightedges. In this approach, the geometrical shape of the weld in longitudinal direction has no real influence, although it has a direct relation with the...
