Break Testing

Overview

Brake testing evaluates the performance and safety of braking systems in rail and road vehicles to ensure effective stopping power and reliability.

Key Components

• Brake Testers: Devices used to measure braking force and performance.

• Load Cells: Sensors that record braking force applied.
• Simulation Equipment: Assesses brake response under various conditions.
• Data Analysis: Software to analyze braking performance and safety metrics.

Importance

• Safety: Ensures brakes perform reliably under operational conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets safety standards and regulations.
• Maintenance: Identifies issues requiring repair or adjustment.

Applications

• Vehicle safety inspections
• Pre-service and post-service brake checks
• Fleet maintenance programs
