22、EN 16729-1:2016 (E) DIN EN 16729-1:2016-11 4 Introduction This European Standard represents the actual state of the art of automated ultrasonic testing of rails in track applied by European railway companies. EN 16729-1:2016 (E) DIN EN 16729-1:2016-11 5 1 Scope This European Standard applies to test

23、ing of rails installed in track for detecting internal discontinuities. This part applies to testing equipment fitted to dedicated test vehicles or manually-propelled devices. This European Standard does not define the requirements for vehicle acceptance. This part of the standard does not apply to

24、ultrasonic testing of rails in a production plant. The European Standard specifies the requirements for testing principles and systems in order to produce comparable results with regard to location, type and size of discontinuities in rails. This European Standard is not aiming to give any guideline

25、s for managing the result of ultrasonic rail testing. This European Standard applies only to rail profiles meeting the requirements of EN 13674-1. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its applicatio

26、n. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

30、ng there shall be defined reference reflectors in a test track. These reference reflectors shall be recorded and reported at the normal operational speed of the test vehicle/system. EN 16729-1:2016 (E) DIN EN 16729-1:2016-11 7 The reference rail in the test track shall be constructed from new rail t

31、o provide the correct head profile and running surface condition. Rails with corrosion on the running surface shall be cleaned to allow the transmission of ultrasound prior to any testing, for example using a powered steel wire brush. A signal shown on the display of an ultrasonic instrument or syst

32、em as a result of received ultrasonic pulse is called an indication. Evidence obtained by non-destructive testing. In test systems according to this standard ultrasound at a frequency range of 2 MHz to 5 MHz is used. A flat-bottomed hole (FBH) shall be machined using a twist drill at the appropriate

33、 diameter followed by a slot drill hole of the same diameter to the required depth to generate the flat end of the hole. Accuracy in diameter and depth shall be within 0,1 mm. Accuracy in angle shall be within 0,1. A side drilled hole (SDH) shall be machined using a twist drill at the appropriate di

34、ameter. Accuracy in diameter shall be within 0,1 mm. Accuracy in angle shall be within 0,1. An electrical discharge machined (EDM) notch shall be machined to the desired shape and orientation with an accuracy of 0,1 mm. Accuracy in angle shall be within 0,1. Due to wear of the rail, dimension might

35、vary. If the rail is used for distance and sensitivity setting of Ultrasonic Testing (UT) inspection devices this needs to be taken into account. 4.2 Principle of ultrasonic testing in track Ultrasonic waves transmitted into the rail will be reflected from the surfaces of the rail body. Fractures an

36、d other discontinuities within the rail, as well as the boundary of the rail will act as reflecting surfaces. By receiving, recording and interpreting the returned ultrasonic signals, it is possible to detect discontinuities within a rail installed in track before they present an unacceptable risk t

37、o the integrity and strength of the rail. Annex C gives examples of test areas in rails tested with test vehicles or manually propelled devices. 4.3 Ultrasonic testing speed and detection of discontinuities Ultrasonic beams have a width which is determined by the size of the transducer and the frequ

38、ency. All reflectors interact with the ultrasonic beam. The beam sweeps across the reflector when the vehicle and / or manually-propelled device travels along the track. Ultrasound will be reflected and detected by the transducer. All ultrasonic systems use a threshold level in a gate and the system

39、 will record a response when the reflection is above the threshold level. By controlling the gain in the ultrasonic system and the gate threshold level the number of responses for a given size of reflector can be defined. A reflector can be sized by setting the system parameters so that a known numb

40、er of responses are received from a known sized reference reflector. The relationship of the number of responses and the size of the reference reflector is known. This applies to all the reflectors in Annex A. The maximum testing speed depends upon the rail profile (longitudinal and transverse), ref

41、lector size to be detected, the beam width, sampling frequency and the number of responses required for an indication to be recorded. 4.4 Simulation of internal reflectors in reference rails Reference rails incorporating sets of reference reflectors selected from Annex A shall be created. In additio

42、n, reference rails incorporating sets of reference reflectors selected from Annex B may be created. They shall be installed in the left and right rails of a section of track if test vehicles are used. If only trolleys or manually-propelled devices are used the reference rails may be installed out-of

43、-track. The length of the reference rails is not defined by this standard. When in track carrying traffic, the distance between the simulated reflectors and functional reflectors should be assessed by the Infrastructure Manager with consideration to the structural integrity of the rail. Reference re

44、flectors shall be orientated to check probes scanning in both directions. EN 16729-1:2016 (E) DIN EN 16729-1:2016-11 8 To prevent the influence of water and dirt on the ultrasonic responses, reference holes and notches shall be plugged with a synthetic compound. Where the reference rails carry traff

45、ic the infrastructure manager shall carry out a risk assessment to determine if reinforcement of the reference reflectors is necessary (fishplates or similar) and determine the maintenance regime of the reference rails. When several values are given for a certain quantity in Table 1, they are all ma

46、ndatory. If a range is given for a quantity the user may chose a value within this range. For example reflector No. 01 consists of three holes in a rail. All holes have a diameter of 6 mm. The distance from the running surface to the centre of the hole is 7 mm for the first hole and 10 mm and 20 mm

47、for the second and third hole respectively. This leads to three holes in a rail for reflector No. 01. No. 02 consists of four holes in a rail. Two holes for the forward direction and two holes for the backward direction. The distance from the running surface (see Figure A.2) can be chosen within a r

48、ange of 10 mm to 20 mm. The holes per direction have a diameter of 5 mm and 10 mm respectively. This leads to four holes in a rail for reflector No. 02.
