Wheel diameter measuring gauge, IDK-BT Operation principle The measurement of the diameter is performed according to the “three points” technique, without the complete wheel coverage. The measurement method is based on the diameter calculation by the known length of the segment chord (the distance be- tween the ball bearings centers), which is obtained at placing the gauge onto the wheel.
Wheel diameter measuring gauge, IDK-BT 9.3. Measurement with averaging The program of the wheel diameter calculation contains an averaging algorithm that allows eliminating the surface defects influence on the diameter measuring result. All the results of metering, performed after the button pressing, are averaged.

Wheel diameter measuring gauge, IDK-BT 13.5. Selection and formation of measurement scheme Measurement scheme is meant as a sequence of making measure- ments/processing of wheels in the rolling stock. The program automatically offers opera- tor to perform measurement on a concrete wheel in accordance with selected scheme of wheel processing.
By default, working language of the program is English. Language support files are located in the directory used in the process of installation. By default the following directory is used: C:\Program Files\RIFTEK\Ikp5_db\Language\. The directory con- tains two files, RUS.lng and ENG.lng, to support Russian and English languages re- spectively.
Wheel diameter measuring gauge, IDK-BT To create support file for any other language, it is necessary to copy one of the existing files. For example, ENG.lng under the other name, for example, GER.lng edit the renamed files by using any text processor, namely, change all terms and phrases to analogous ones from the required language ...
