Railway applications - Infrastructure - Non-destructive testing on rails in track - Part 2: Eddy current testing of rails in track
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16729-2 standard focuses on the testing of rails installed in railway tracks to detect surface cracks. This standard applies to both testing equipment in inspection-trains or reprofiling machines, as well as manual systems.
The purpose of this standard is to provide requirements for testing principles and systems that can produce comparable results in terms of the location and characteristics of surface cracks on rails. However, it does not provide guidelines for managing the results of eddy current rail testing.
It's important to note that this standard does not define the requirements for vehicle acceptance nor does it address production testing of rails in a production plant. Additionally, it is only applicable to rail profiles that meet the requirements of the EN 13674-1 standard.
