THE FLAW DETECTOR ADVANTAGES:
- Rail complete sounding (excluding the foot flanges), due to the flaw detector multi-channeling.
- Built-in standard setups for channels operation.
- Defining the traveled distance and speed during the complete testing.
- Real-time display of testing results in B-scan mode (by 4 channels).
- Sounding and storing the information in every millimeter of traveled distance via all channels is provided in the flaw detector.
- Recording the testing results at different sensitivity levels.
- Registration of all testing results and advanced capabilities of data analysis.
- Application of the flaw detector with the base sounding scheme allows to detect all types of fatal defects, appearing while rail track maintenance.
