Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications: Track - Forged Rail Transitions
Also Known As:
BS EN 16273:2014 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for the approval process of forging rail transitions. The standard applies to new railway rails and switch and crossing rails used in conjunction with railway rails of 46 kg/m and above. It covers the process of forging a portion of a rail with one profile to a different profile, as well as the requirements for subsequent forging production and product acceptance.
This standard is essential for the manufacturing and maintenance of railway infrastructure. It ensures that the forging process for rail transitions is carried out in a controlled and approved manner, guaranteeing the integrity and compatibility of the rails. By adhering to this standard, rail operators can ensure that the track transitions are seamless and meet the required safety and performance standards. The standard also outlines the specific requirements for welding or fish plating to create switch and transition rails.
