Railway Applications - Track - Special Purpose Rail - Grooved Rails and Associated Construction Profiles
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14811 standard is a European standard that specifically outlines the requirements for grooved rails and associated construction rail profiles used in tram transport systems. The standard focuses on grooved rails with a linear mass of 42 kg/m or higher. These rails are designed to provide a specific configuration and functionality to support the smooth operation of tram systems.
The standard ensures that the grooved rails meet certain quality and performance criteria. It covers various aspects, such as dimensional tolerances, mechanical properties, surface quality, and construction profiles associated with the rails. The goal is to ensure that the grooved rails and associated construction profiles are safe, reliable, and capable of handling the specific requirements of tram transport systems.
Adhering to the DIN EN 14811 standard helps ensure interoperability and compatibility between different tram systems using grooved rails. It provides a common set of technical specifications that manufacturers, operators, and infrastructure managers can refer to when designing, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining tram tracks and associated components. Compliance with this standard also enhances the overall safety and efficiency of tram operations.
