Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings - Part 6: Fixed Common and Obtuse Crossings
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13232-6 standard aims to establish a common terminology and provide detailed specifications for fixed crossings and their constituent parts.
This standard focuses on defining the various types of fixed crossings and their characteristics. It covers parameters such as the geometry of the crossing, construction types, design criteria, manufacturing processes, tolerances, and inspection methods. By addressing these aspects, the standard ensures that there is a consistent understanding and approach to the design, manufacturing, and inspection of fixed crossings within the railway industry.
The standard serves as a reference document for manufacturers, engineers, and other stakeholders involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of railway tracks. Its guidelines help to ensure that fixed crossings are built and maintained according to standardized criteria, enhancing safety, efficiency, and interoperability across the rail network.
