Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings for Vignole Rails - Part 8: Expansion Devices
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13232-8 standard focuses on expansion devices used in railway tracks. It aims to establish a common terminology for these devices and their components, as well as define the different types of expansion devices.
The standard also outlines the minimum manufacturing requirements for expansion devices and their constituent parts. This ensures that these devices are manufactured to a certain quality standard, enhancing their reliability and functionality. Additionally, the standard provides codes of practice for inspection and specifies tolerances that should be adhered to during the manufacturing process.
Furthermore, DIN EN 13232-8 defines a method for the identification and tracing of expansion devices and their components. This allows for effective monitoring and maintenance of these devices throughout their lifecycle.
