Železniške naprave - Akustika - Merjenje hrapavosti (neravnin) vozne površine tirnice in kolesa pri povzročanju hrupa

Ta evropski standard določa neposredno metodo za ovrednotenje valovitosti vozne površine tirnice in kolesa, ki povzroča hrup med vožnjo (»akustična hrapavost«), v obliki frekvenčnega pasu ene tretjine oktave. Ta standard opisuje metodo za: a) izbiranje merilnih položajev vzdolž tirnic ali izbiranje koles vozila; b) izbiranje stranskih položajev za meritve; c) postopek zbiranja podatkov; d) obdelavo merilnih podatkov za oceno hrapavosti v obliki frekvenčnega pasu ene tretjine oktave; e) predstavitev te ocene za primerjavo z mejami akustične hrapavosti; f) primerjavo z določeno zgornjo mejo glede na valovno dolžino frekvenčnega pasu ene tretjine oktave; g) zahteve merilnega sistema. Uporablja se za: a) preskušanje učinkovitosti referenčnih odsekov tirnic glede na preskus sprejemljivosti hrupa, ki ga oddajajo železniška vozila; b) preskušanje učinkovitosti odsekov tirnic glede hrupa, ki ga oddajajo železniška vozila; c) sprejemljivost stanja vozne površine samo, če je akustična hrapavost merilo za sprejemljivost; d) oceno stanja površine kolesa kot vnosa za akustično sprejemljivost zavornih blokov; e) oceno valovitosti kolesa in tirnice kot vnosa za izračun valovitosti kombinacije kolesa in tirnice; f) diagnozo spornosti hrupa koles in tirnic za določene tirnice ali kolesa; g) oceno valovitosti koles in tirnic kot vnosa pri modeliranju hrupa med vožnjo; h) oceno valovitosti koles in tirnic kot vnosa za metode ločevanja virov hrupa. Ne uporablja se za: a) merjenje valovitosti s posredno metodo; b) neposredno merjenje kombinacije valovitosti koles in tirnic; c) analizo učinka interakcije kolo-tirnica, kot je »kontaktni filter«; d) odobritev preoblikovanja tirnic in koles, vključno z operacijami brušenja tirnic, razen tistih, pri katerih je akustična hrapavost posebno merilo za sprejemljivost (in ne merilo kakovosti brušenja, kot je določeno v standardu EN 13231); e) opredelitev geometrije tirnic in koles, razen kadar je to povezano s povzročanjem hrupa.
