In the field, Salient's hand-pushed Tribometer is the most effective, user-friendly method in the rail industry to spot-check the coefficient of friction of rail/wheel interfaces. A terrific tool to validate the quality of rail lubrication methods at specific track locations, the Tribometer is customizable to any track gage to conveniently measure the coefficient of friction at any point along rail from the top of the running surface to the lower edge of the gage face.

An operator pushes the device at walking speeds to collect readings while a proprietary algorithm reviews the data for accuracy. After measurements are validated, the easily maneuverable, compact device fits securely within a carrying case for travel or storage.

This device is available to rent.
