Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications - Track - Flash Butt Welding of Rails - Welding in Association with Crossing Construction
Also Known As:
BS EN 14587-3:2012 is a European standard that focuses on the flash butt welding process used in the construction of rail crossings. The standard specifies the requirements for the approval of the welding process in a fixed plant, as well as the subsequent welding production. It specifically applies to new Vignole rails that are welded using flash butt welding techniques to crossing components in a stationary facility.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the flash butt welding process meets the required quality and safety standards for railway applications. It provides guidelines and criteria for the approval and certification of the welding process, ensuring that it is suitable for use on railway infrastructures. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and operators can have confidence in the durability and reliability of the welded rails used in crossing construction.
