Laser Wheel Profilometer. IKP-5 Series, Model 2017 Year Calculation of the flange thickness is determined by parameter L3 that specifies Point 1 on the flange surface. There are two ways to specify the parameter: Method 1 Height L3 is measured vertically upward from a point of the wheel rolling surface, the position of which is defined by parameter L2. Method 2 Height L3 is measured vertically downward from the flange top. The flange thickness is calculated as a distance measured horizontally at any preselected height (L3) between two points (Point 1 and Point 2) lying on the opposite sides of...
