Squeeze Load Testing

The Squeeze Load Test is conducted to evaluate the structural strength and integrity of railway wagon bodies under specified compressive loading conditions. The test simulates the forces experienced by the wagon during coupling, shunting, braking, and operational service to verify its ability to withstand longitudinal compressive loads without permanent deformation or structural failure.

NK Instruments provides complete instrumentation and testing solutions, including strain gauging, load measurement, displacement monitoring, and real-time data acquisition. Critical parameters are recorded and analyzed to assess stress distribution, structural response, and compliance with railway standards and customer specifications.
