Railway applications - Braking - Automatic variable load sensing devices

This European Standard applies to automatic variable load sensing devices designed to continuously sense the load of a railway vehicle and provide a signal that can be used by a relay valve for the automatic variation of the air pressure used for brake application, thereby adjusting the brake force accordingly to achieve the required brake performance.
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design, dimensions, manufacture and testing of automatic variable load sensing devices.

Bahnanwendungen - Bremse - Automatisch kontinuierlich wirkende Lasterfassungseinrichtungen

Die vorliegende Europäische Norm gilt für automatisch kontinuierlich wirkende Lasterfassungseinrichtungen
(Wiegeventile), die so beschaffen sind, dass sie die Last eines Eisenbahnfahrzeuges kontinuierlich erfassen
und ein Signal erzeugen, das von einem Relaisventil für die automatische Anpassung des für eine
Bremsbetätigung verwendeten pneumatischen Drucks benutzt wird, wodurch die Bremskraft zur Erzielung der
geforderten Bremsleistung entsprechend angepasst werden kann.
In der vorliegenden Europäischen Norm werden die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, die Abmessungen,
die Herstellung und Prüfung von Wiegeventilen festgelegt.

Applications ferroviaires - Freinage - Dispositifs de pesée variable automatiques

La présente Norme européenne s’applique aux dispositifs de pesée destinés à détecter en permanence la
charge d’un véhicule ferroviaire et à fournir un signal utilisable par un relais pneumatique destiné à faire varier
de façon automatique la pression d’air utilisée pour le freinage, ajustant ainsi la force de freinage en
conséquence pour obtenir les performances de freinage requises.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences relatives à la conception, aux dimensions, à la
fabrication et aux essais des dispositifs de pesée.

The air system should therefore include some means of preventing water collecting within the automatic variable load sensing device and hence freezing of the water in conditions below 0 °C. 4.6 Service life No specific requirements for the automatic variable load sensing device to attain a particular service life are contained in this European Standard. Any testing to establish the service life of an automatic variable load sensing device shall be conducted as part of the product development. NOTE The service life of the automatic variable load sensing device is a function of the environment/operating conditions in which the automatic variable load sensing device will function, and the requirements for the automatic variable load sensing device to achieve a serviceable life in accordance with the maintenance requirements of the vehicle to which it is fitted.
