Railway applications - Track - Acceptance of works - Part 2: Acceptance of reprofiling rails in plain line, switches, crossings and expansion devices
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13231-2 standard is specifically focused on the acceptance of works related to reprofiling rails in various railway applications. This includes reprofiling of rail heads in plain line, switches, crossings, and expansion devices. The standard outlines the technical requirements and measurements that need to be met in order for these works to be accepted.
It is important to note that the standard applies to Vignole rails that weigh 46 kg/m and above, as per the specifications outlined in EN 13674-1. This ensures that the standard is applicable to a specific range of rail types commonly used in railway systems.
By defining the necessary technical requirements and measurements, the DIN EN 13231-2 standard ensures that the reprofiling works are carried out accurately and consistently, which is crucial for the effective and safe operation of railway tracks. Compliance with this standard helps to maintain the necessary quality and performance levels in the reprofiling process.
