Railway Applications - Infrastructure - Aluminothermic Welding of Grooved Rails
Also Known As:
This standard, DIN EN 16771, focuses on the aluminothermic welding of grooved rails in railway infrastructure. It specifies the laboratory tests and requirements for approval of the welding process, specifically for welds produced in workshop conditions. The standard applies to the joining of new grooved rails that meet the profile and steel grade requirements outlined in EN 14811.
It is important to note that compliance with this standard does not guarantee the suitability of the welding process for specific track and traffic conditions. The standard does not cover the welding of construction profiles, machined profiles, worn rails, or welds made between different rail sections or grades.
In addition to the definitive requirements, the standard also requires certain items to be documented in accordance with clause 4. To fully comply with this standard, it is crucial to satisfy both the definitive requirements and the documented items specified in the standard.
