4.0 Getting Started
The correct gauge must be used for the rail type. For example a Ri60 gauge will give
incorrect readings if used on a Ri59 rail and vice versa.
When picking a measurement point, it is important to consider the following points as they
can cause an inaccuracy;
Location of welds or branding marks.
Excess loose rust, dirt and grease.
Once a suitable measuring position has been chosen, the gauge can be attached to the
rails. The gauge has 3 locating magnets, as shown in Figure 1, which will allow it to stay
connected to the rail; leaving the users hands free to take the measurements.
