Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications: Infrastructure - Non-Destructive Testing on Rails in Track: Requirements for Ultrasonic Inspection and Evaluation Principles
Also Known As:
BS EN 16729-1:2016 is a standard that focuses on the testing of rails installed in track to detect internal discontinuities.
The standard specifically applies to testing equipment fitted to dedicated test vehicles or manually-propelled devices. It does not define the requirements for vehicle acceptance and does not cover ultrasonic testing of rails in a production plant.
The purpose of the standard is to specify the requirements for testing principles and systems in order to produce comparable results in terms of the location, type, and size of discontinuities in rails. However, it does not provide guidelines for managing the results of ultrasonic rail testing.
Lastly, the standard applies only to rail profiles that meet the requirements of EN 13674-1.
