7 ¼ Society Standard Compliant Profile Gauge

7 ¼ Society Standard Compliant Profile Gauge

These handy “pocket size” gauges are ideal to check wheelsets for conformity and help identify any rouge profiles or excessively worn flanges. Designed by Colin Edmondson these gauges are made under licence by MRW with his kind permission.

When operating a railway periodic safety checks are imperative to ensure that the stock is in a suitable condition for carriage. These gauges can be placed over the profiles to check they conform with the standard and help eliminate derailments.

Cut from zintec or stainless steel the gauges are not prone to rust or wear quickly and being laser cut are accurate to +-0.1mm The Narrow Gauge and Standard Gauge profiles are clearly engraved into the surface and indicate which standard is being measured.
The 7 ¼ inch Gauge Society have a clearly written set of standards on their website and these gauges conform precisely to these standards. www.sevenandaquarter.org
