Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings for Vignole Rails - Part 6: Fixed Common and Obtuse Crossings
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13232-6 standard aims to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for fixed crossings used in railway tracks. The standard begins by establishing a common terminology for fixed crossings and their different components, ensuring that there is a clear and universally understood language for discussing these structures.
Furthermore, the standard specifies the diverse ways in which crossings can be described, including their geometry, construction types, design criteria, manufacturing processes, tolerances, and inspection procedures. This ensures that all aspects of the crossings are appropriately documented and understood.
By providing these specifications, the DIN EN 13232-6 standard seeks to ensure the consistency, quality, and safety of fixed crossings used in railway applications. It acts as a reference document that can be used by engineers, manufacturers, and inspectors to ensure that fixed crossings are designed, manufactured, and installed according to the highest standards.
