Free Webinar: Rail Break Detection and Its Stress ManagementSponsored by: Join us on May 23, 2013 at 11 am EDT / 8 am PDT for a free webinar, Rail Break Detection and Its Stress Management. Detecting rail breaks is critical for safe railroad operations. Break detection outside of signaled territory often requires manual inspection that is prone to error. Dr. Andrew Kish will explain longitudinal stress in rail, the neutral temperature issues resulting from rail break/defect removal events, the problems introduced by cold weather repairs, and new approaches to readjust neutral temperature to desired target values. He will also overview how a Salient Rail Stress Measurement™ (RSM™) system can detect rail breaks or changes in track conditions that would require inspection.Register for Webinar >   SPEAKER:Dr. Andrew Kish, Ph.D Kandrew Consulting Services Register for Webinar > This webinar is the second in a three-part webinar series on Rail Stress Management. Register now to view the recorded version of the first webinar, Track Buckling Hazard Dection.

Sponsored by:  Learn more about the causes of track buckling and important new techniques for monitoring this serious track condition. In this recorded webinar, Dr. Andrew Kish, a renowned expert on rail longitudinal stress management, provides a technical overview of the science behind this critical problem as it relates to continuous welded rail (CWR).
