Railway Infrastructure - Rail Fastening Systems - Part 8: Test Method for Vertical Stiffness
Also Known As:
ISO 22074-8:2022 is a standard that focuses on the testing method for vertical stiffness in rail fastening systems within railway infrastructure. The objective of this standard is to establish laboratory test procedures that can accurately measure the static and low-frequency dynamic stiffness of rail pads, baseplate pads, and complete rail fastening assemblies.
The standard provides guidelines on how to conduct these tests, ensuring that the measurements are reliable and consistent across different rail fastening systems. By determining the vertical stiffness of rail pads and baseplate pads, this standard helps in evaluating their effectiveness in providing support and cushioning to the rail tracks.
The test method described in ISO 22074-8:2022 involves subjecting the rail fastening systems to controlled loads and dynamic forces simulating real-time conditions. Through this testing process, the vertical stiffness, which quantifies the ability of the rail fastening system to resist vertical displacements and maintain stability, can be accurately determined.
