What is BS EN 14200 - Parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railways about?
BS EN 14200 is a European standard that discusses parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railway applications to assist in manufacturing and ensuring that the minimum quality standards for parabolic springs and steel suspension components are achieved.
BS EN 14200 applies to parabolic springs as spring elements for rail vehicles.
BS EN 14200 is a guide to the following subjects:
- Design
- Specification of technical and qualitative requirements
- Approval procedures and quality assurance of production methods
- Tests and inspections to be carried out
- Delivery conditions
Who is BS EN 14200 - Parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railways for?
BS EN 14200 on parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railways is useful for:
- Parabolic springs and steel suspension components manufacturers
- Test centres or any person involved in the testing
- Regulatory authorities
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS EN 14200 - Parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railways?
A parabolic spring is a spring that consists of two or more tapered leaves. Each leaf represents a complete spring and will act as such. To enables this the leaf is tapered, from the centre to the outer ends.
BS EN 14200 guides you regarding the dimensions, characteristics, designation, individual parts, requirements to be defined by the customer, product specification, product quality, final inspection, marking of spring buckle, and packaging for manufacturing well efficient and durable parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railways.
BS EN 14200 guides you with test methods on requirements for spring test under load, resistance to slipping of the spring leaves, methods of test and taking of samples for general and binding requirements, testing of the spring buckle, and testing and design of the spring eye for parabolic springs and steel suspension components.
This assists in evaluating and enhancing the quality and durability of parabolic springs and steel suspension components for providing good stability and good handling of railway vehicles.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14200, you can enhance the efficacy of parabolic springs and steel suspension components for railways.
