Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings - Part 8: Expansion Devices
Also Known As:
DIN EN 13232-8 is a standard that falls under the category of Railway Applications - Track - Switches and Crossings. Specifically, Part 8 of this standard focuses on Expansion Devices. The main objectives of this part of the standard are to establish a common terminology for expansion devices, their constituent parts, and different types; specify the minimum manufacturing requirements for these devices and their parts; formulate codes of practice regarding inspection and tolerances; and define a method for identification and traceability of expansion devices and their parts.
The standard aims to facilitate effective communication and understanding within the industry by establishing a common language regarding expansion devices. It also ensures that these devices and their constituent parts are manufactured to a certain level of quality by specifying minimum requirements. In addition, the standard provides guidelines for inspection and tolerances, promoting consistency and quality control in the manufacturing process. Finally, the standard defines a method for identification and traceability, allowing for easy tracking and management of these devices throughout their lifecycle.
