Ultrasonic testing (UT / CUS)
Non-destructive ultrasonic inspection of metal components — preventive and corrective maintenance and planned repairs.
SCRL Brașov uses modern non-destructive testing methods, including ultrasonic testing (UT/CUS), to verify the integrity of metal components of rolling stock. This method is essential in preventive and corrective maintenance and in planned repairs.
Why UT matters in rail maintenance
Ultrasonic testing is essential to: increase traffic safety; prevent material fractures; detect defects not visible externally; ensure technical conformity of components.
Integration in the maintenance process
Ultrasonic testing is used before and after planned repairs and during periodic inspections. It is part of the quality and safety assurance system for rolling stock.
