Corrugation & Roughness Measuring Instruments
As well as providing bespoke and customised instrumentation for particular purposes, RailMeasurement supplies three standard products for the measurement of longitudinal rail corrugation:
- Corrugation Analysis Trolley (CAT): A portable, hand-operated instrument - weighing less than 15kg - typically used to measure rail for acoustics purposes and for quality assurance in rail grinding activities.
- Rail Corrugation Analyser (RCA): A train-mounted instrument, designed to measure rail corrugation to accuracies sufficient to approve grinding work, and to determine the requirement for grinding on worn rail.
- Medium-Speed Rail Corrugation Analyser (MSRCA): Typically mounted on a hi-rail or other instrumentation car, the MSRCA is designed for accurate surveys of corrugation at speeds up to 40km/h.
- High Speed Rail Corrugation Analyser (HSRCA): A train-mounted instrument specifically designed for the survey of extended lengths of track at high speed (80km/h or more).
