MODERN METHODS OF NDT AND THEIR USE IN MAINTENANCE OF ROLLING STOCK

The examples of ultrasound checks mentioned above are only a marginal subset of the whole volume NON-destructive testings on rail vehicles (rolling stock) The case stresses the importance of execution of professional analyses when atypical damages on rail vehicle (rolling stock) units occur.
