ULTRASONIC TESTING OF RAIL--EXPERIENCE AND IMPROVEMENTS

The author discusses improvements in the methods of ultrasonic testing of rail for defects and flaws on the German Federated Railways, giving details of the present state of the art in the new test equipment, and reviewing the knowledge accumulated. Possible improvements in the testing techniques are discussed, including the need for doubling, at least, the speed presently required for this testing of rails.
