BS EN 15610:2009 EN 15610:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard specifies a direct method for characterizing the surface roughness of the rail associated with rolling noise (“acoustic roughness“), in the form of a one-third octave band spectrum. This standard describes a method fo
22、r: a) selecting measuring positions; b) data acquisition; c) measurement data processing in order to estimate a set of one-third octave band roughness spectra; d) presentation of this estimate for comparison with limits of acoustic roughness; e) comparison with a given upper limit in terms of a one-
23、third octave band wavelength spectrum. 1.2 It is applicable to the: a) performance testing of reference track sections for the measurement, within a period of three months before or after roughness characterization, of noise emitted by railway vehicles for acceptance testing purposes; b) acceptance
24、of the rail surface condition only in the case where the result of the direct measurement of the acoustic roughness is regarded as an established acceptance criterion. 1.3 It is not applicable to the: a) measurement of rail roughness using an indirect method; b) measurement of combined wheel-rail ro
25、ughness; c) analysis of the effect of wheel-rail interaction, such as a “contact filter”; d) approval of rail reprofiling, including rail grinding operations, except for those where the acoustic roughness (and not the level of corrugation) is an established approval criterion; e) characterization of
26、 track geometry. Testing and approval of measuring apparatus are not part of the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

38、l, the requirements of the measuring system are defined. This is done solely in terms of output data and parameters relevant to the output data. The following measuring system requirements apply. 5.2 Accuracy of the output signal The measuring system shall be capable of making valid measurements in
39、the wavelength range and at the relevant acoustic roughness levels for the test site being characterized. However, where it is required simply to show that the estimated acoustic roughness does not exceed a given upper limit, the measuring system shall effect valid measurements for one-third octave
40、band acoustic roughness levels equal to or greater than this limit. This case applies particularly for test section approval. 5.3 Dimensions of the probe If a contact probe is used, the probe tip shall be spherical and its radius shall not exceed 7 mm. In the case of a non-contacting sensor, its eff
41、ective width shall be less than the sampling interval. BS EN 15610:2009 EN 15610:2009 (E) 9 5.4 Tracking of the probe The measuring system probe shall follow a line on the rail head parallel to the field (outer) face of the rail head, with a tolerance of 1 mm. 5.5 Sampling interval The measuring sys
42、tem shall provide data with a sampling interval less than or equal to 1 mm. 5.6 Record length The system shall provide records of length 1 m. 6 Data acquisition 6.1 General The aim of the data acquisition procedure is to obtain digitized records of the acoustic roughness of the two rails in the test
43、 section measured at a sufficiently high sampling rate per unit of length of rail, and with a record length sufficient to derive from it the acoustic roughness spectrum. Record lengths of at least 1 m are required to estimate the acoustic roughness spectrum covering the wavelength range up to the 0,
44、25 m one-third octave band. NOTE To attain wavelengths greater than 0,25 m, records longer than those specified in this subclause should be obtained. 6.2 Test section requirements 6.2.1 Track structure The track structure shall be constant along the test section, at least in terms of the following p
45、arameters: rail cross-section, rail inclination and rail supporting structure. In the case of a ballasted track, the rail supporting structure parameters are: the rail pad type, the rail fasteners, the sleeper type, the sleeper spacing and the ballast. NOTE If the track structure changes, separate t
46、est sections should be defined and the acoustic roughness of each should be assessed and presented. 6.2.2 Localized geometric features From the strict point of view of acoustic roughness data acquisition, there is no specific requirement for the test section. However, the rail along the test section
47、 may contain localized geometrical features (e.g.: rail defects, wheel burns, etc.), that should not be included in the assessment of the acoustic roughness related to the generation of rolling noise. NOTE The localized rail defects are not significant in the assessment of the acoustic roughness rel
48、ated to the rolling noise component. 6.3 Reference surface choice 6.3.1 General The acoustic roughness of the test section shall be assessed over a reference surface. The reference surface is specified, inside the running band, as follows: BS EN 15610:2009 EN 15610:2009 (E) 10 a) length along the ra
49、il; b) transverse width w ref , c) relative distance d refto the field face of the rail. 6.3.2 Cases It is the responsibility of the measurement team to define the length, width and position of the reference surface of the two rails and to justify its decision. Where the acoustic rail roughness measurement is required for rolling stock type acceptance testing, any of the three following cases for that justification shall be used: a) Case 1: the running band on the rail head is clear v
