STRESS MEASUREMENT - RR WHEELS (EMAT)

Internal residual stress measurement on train wheels using proprietary sensors and scanners. The technique uses two orthogonal linearly polarized Shear Horizontal waves at 0 and 90 degrees to provide a birefringence measurement which is directly correlated with internal stress.

Features

• Non-contact EMAT ultrasonic stress measurement technique.
• Custom software with residual stress measurement in MPa or psi.
• Built-in reports with residual stress measurement, graphs, snapshots, and other data.
• Portable probe scanner for semi-automated residual stress measurement on train wheels.
• Rotating probe scanner for semi-automated residual stress measurement on plates.
• Meets EN 13979-1:2023, EN 13262:2021, and German Standard VPI 09. Tested and endorsed by European OEMs for the railway industry.
