Railway Applications - Track - Flash Butt Welding of Rails - Part 2: New R220, R260, R260Mn and R350HT Grade Rails by Mobile Welding Machines at Sites Other Than a Fixed Plant
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14587-2 standard specifies the requirements for the approval of a welding process using Mobile Flash Butt Welding (MFBW) machines at sites other than fixed plants. It includes the requirements for the welding contractor and the subsequent welding production. The standard is applicable to new Vignole rails of R220, R260, R260Mn, and R350HT grades, with a weight of 46 kg/m and above, as specified in EN 13674-1. The welding process is carried out using MFBW machines and is intended for use in railway infrastructures.
The standard covers both static but temporary situations and the welding of rails into welded strings. It ensures the quality and safety of the welding process, ensuring that the rails meet the required standards. This standard is important for the railway industry as it provides guidelines for the proper welding of rails using mobile machines at different sites, ensuring reliable and durable railway infrastructure.
