Railway Applications - Track - Rail - Part 3: Check Rails
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13674-3 standard focuses on check rail profiles used within the railway track system. Specifically, it provides specifications for check rails designed for this purpose. However, it does not address guard rails intended to protect various structures such as vehicles, bridges, or viaducts in case of a derailment.
The standard outlines three different grades of steel, which are categorized based on their specific properties and suitability for different applications. Additionally, it specifies five rail profiles that meet the requirements for check rails. These profiles likely differ in terms of their physical dimensions, geometry, and other characteristics necessary for their intended use in the railway track system.
By providing these specifications, the standard ensures that check rails used in railway applications meet certain quality and performance criteria. This helps to ensure the safe and efficient functioning of the railway track system, while also maintaining consistency and interoperability across different rail networks.
