Inspection, Testing, and Measurement Solutions for Railway Infrastructure and Rolling Stock
Rail travel is a key part of the transportation industry for its speed, reliability, and affordability. With a large, ageing infrastructure, railways require constant support to maintain their integrity and operate safely and efficiently.
A Complete Workflow Solution
Inspecting the integrity of the rails as well as train vehicles, wheels and axles for flaws is essential to keeping rail networks operating. Non-destructive testing (NDT) technology, including conventional and phased array ultrasound, and eddy current array, is used to inspect trains and rails during manufacturing and as part of a regular in-service inspection program to help keep railroads on track.
Evident provides a wide range of solutions from portable, off-the-shelf units through to large scale, integrated systems. A comprehensive portfolio also includes remote visual inspection, materials microscopy and X-Ray fluorescence technologies.
Evident solutions are used for a wide range of applications both in the rail industry manufacturing and maintenance sectors. Focussing on applications such as vehicle, axle and wheel inspections, rail infrastructure integrity checks (rail welds, cracks, defects, as well as switches), and rolling stock investigations such as windshield bond testing.
Extensive Capabilities
Technologies range from handheld thickness gauges to verify if components or systems are within limits/tolerance, or to verify wall loss due to corrosion or general wear and tear, through to comprehensive production line installations.
About Evident
Evident designs and manufactures a diverse range of inspection technologies and industrial products, including nondestructive testing flaw detectors, X-ray fluorescence analyzers, and video borescopes. We serve customers in a variety of sectors including electronics, metals, aerospace, automotive, power generation, rail, oil and gas, manufacturing, and mining.
Designed to inspect hard-to-reach areas, our video borescopes provide outstanding image quality on best-in-class monitors with versatile options. In nondestructive testing, we empower inspectors with leading-edge thickness gauges, flaw detectors, phased array instrumentation, and scanners. Our X-ray fluorescence (XRF) material analyzers deliver element composition analysis for alloys, precious metals, environmental assessments, and more.
