Reducing the risk of derailment as a result of track buckles or rail breaks has long been a priority for railway companies and track engineers. Measuring the stress-free temperature of continuously welded rail is a key part of this, enabling weaknesses and risks to be identified and managed. In the past this was a time-consuming, expensive and often unreliable process that involved cutting the rail.

VERSE® is an internationally accredited scientific instrument that is used to non-destructively measure the stress-free temperature of continuously welded rail.

It has rapidly become an essential tool in modern rail stress management programmes and is now the most accurate and widely used stress-free temperature tool globally.

Since 2002, it has registered over 200,000 readings – all accurate – and is now in use in over 20 countries worldwide.
