TSC standard ACFM Walking Stick probes are currently available for plain rail inspection. Features include:

• Reliable identification and classification of Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) cracks
• Inspection of the whole rail head surface in one pass - gauge side to field side
• Integral encoder - allows longitudinal position in miles and yards on rail to be recorded

The probe can be used as a primary inspection tool for the detection of the presence of surface breaking cracks in the rail head.

It can also be used as a screening tool where cracks already identified by other methods can be inspected and their severity assessed. The ACFM Walking stick is capable of inspecting continuous welded or jointed rail.
