Railway Equipment

Rail Weld Test Jig (new improved model)

RWTJ-1 - For the inspection of weld joints in track sections.

The new and improved RWTJ-1 Rail Weld Test Jig

The jig is held onto the track by strong magnets to the rail top and side.  The new jig can accommodate two versions of probe – the standard "LSST" range or the Network Rail approved "LSSTNR" range. Various angles are available for both. 2 probes are required, which can be purchased separately to give the ability for a complete scan of the weld area to detect the lack of fusion in alumina-thermic weld joints – this test relates to the Network Rail test procedure U6.
