It is the only scale system capable of measuring shear stress of the rail accurately in all types of weather conditions. The shear stress measurement system is impervious to rail expansion and contraction due to the extreme cold and heat. As such, it is ideal for the climatic conditions of Severodvinsk, where temperatures can vary from -40 degrees to +50 degrees C.
