BS EN 13674-4:2006+A1:2009EN 13674-4:2006+A1:2009 (E) 5 Introduction This introduction provides an explanation of the concepts and reasoning used in the drafting of this European St
26、andard. Its inclusion also ensures that during future revisions, restrictions are removed where technology progresses and held where it does not, thus ensuring continued safety as new manufacturers, products and technologies are introduced. The most commonly used standards of the world for the suppl
27、y of railway rails have been reviewed during the preparation of this European Standard. However, modern rail production technology within the European Union has demanded a completely new look at the philosophy and content of this part of EN 13674. Whenever possible this part of EN 13674 is performan
28、ce based, recognises the European Quality System standard EN ISO 9001 and requires manufacturers to offer the latest proven technology to consistently satisfy the demanding quality of the required product. Rail grading is based on hardness rather than tensile strength. The acceptance tests have been
29、 designed to control those characteristics of the rail steel and rail that are of relevance to the production of high quality rails and the demands of the railway. The steel grades covered by this part of EN 13674 reflect trends in railway usage and heat treated rails are included. This European Sta
30、ndard includes rail profiles for Vignole rails having a linear mass from 27 kg/m to, but excluding 46 kg/m. To ensure the supply of high quality rails, some restrictions on production processes have been imposed. This European Standard supersedes national standards covered by the scope. In addition
31、CEN required, where possible, a performance based standard, taking into account safety implications and at the same time addressing modern production technology. It was recognised that there would be few opportunities (and these would have to be for transparent safety considerations) for derogation
32、from this European Standard to operate between the user and the manufacturer. This European Standard reflects this change in philosophy from the traditional content of rail standards. A review was undertaken of the most commonly used rail standards of the world. All relevant aspects important to bot
33、h user and manufacturer were considered with the aim of ensuring that all of the content had specific usefulness and relevance. For example rail grading and much of this European Standard has been based on hardness rather than tensile strength. Whilst the two are directly related, hardness is very q
34、uick and cheap to carry out and provides more relevant guidance to the user particularly where properties vary in different parts of the profile. Since many rail manufacturers would not have previously carried out proving trials, this European Standard includes a prerequisite for all manufacturers t
35、o prove conformity against a set of qualifying test criteria at the time of tendering. The qualifying tests include all “normal” acceptance test results plus new type-casting features such as fracture toughness, fatigue and residual stress (see EN 13674-1). To provide users with the necessary confid
36、ence, acceptance limits have been based on results from rail known to have performed well in demanding track installations. One aspect of this European Standard, which is a complete break from tradition, is the inclusion of quality assurance and inspection clause as part of product integrity. BS EN
37、13674-4:2006+A1:2009EN 13674-4:2006+A1:2009 (E) 6 In order that quality management systems are consistent across all manufacturers and that users have the best assurance for the consistency of required product quality on this safety critical component of the track, the rail standard requires that th
38、e manufacturers quality assurance systems are at least equivalent to the requirements of EN ISO 9001. The inclusion of this requirement also reduces the need to incorporate detailed method and calibration descriptions on items such as normal chemical composition determination and the need to define
39、more extensive testing. Ideally, manufacturing techniques should not be referenced in a product standard. However, some rail attributes are either not known in an exact manner or are not measurable with satisfactory statistical significance. In such cases best practice manufacturing techniques have
40、been included as a last resort. The equipment specified is that which gives the best probability of achieving the required product for use in track. In the future new technology can add to, but preferably will reduce or delete such items. Examples of areas where the technological state of the art re
41、nders the standard less than complete include: oxide/oxygen relationships; hydrogen test techniques; roller straightening effects on residual stresses; roller straightening effects on contact scrub; measurement and effect of residual stresses throughout the rail.
