Rail roughness measurements are performed according to the applicable standards (ISO3095 or EN15610) in order to:
- qualify a site as a candidate to perform rolling stock noise type tests
- survey rail corrugation and rail roughness
- for trackwork acceptance after grinding
The rail roughness and corrugation measurement are performed with a Rail Surface Analyser (RSA) especially designed for these purposes. More information about this device can be found on http://www.aptrail.com/products/measurement/
