Railway Applications: Track - Test Methods for Fastening Systems - Determination of Torsional Resistance
Also Known As:
BS EN 13146-2:2012 is a standard that provides a test method for determining the torsional resistance of rail fastening systems used in railway applications. The purpose of this standard is to measure the amount of force required to rotate a rail secured to a sleeper by a fastening assembly. The test is conducted in a laboratory setting and involves rotating the rail through 1° in a plane parallel to the base of the rail.
By determining the torsional resistance of the fastening system, this standard allows for the evaluation of track stability. The results obtained from this test can be used in calculations related to the stability and performance of railway tracks. However, it should be noted that this test procedure is not applicable to embedded rail systems.
