Abbreviation day - EN 50125-1 Standard for Railways

 EN 50125-1 Standard for Railways

🔴 With so many short forms used in our work all around, it gets confusing and it is also not possible to remember/know all of them. So here's something new.


🔴 I will take up one short form/standard name and describe in a couple of lines what it is. Some of you may be familiar with some of the common ones.

Today it is 📌 EN 50125-1 📌


🔴 EN stands for European standards.

🔴 EN 50125-1 is the standard used in railways to determine if the equipment (material, design) is compatible with the environmental conditions in Europe.

🔴Simply put, if you are in charge of design and manufacturing of a railway part, you have to look at this standard to see the environmental condition in the area of operation of the train.

🔴 The selection of the material, design, surface treatments, have to be then decided depending on how severe the environment is (sunny/cold/wind/snow etc.)

Isocorrosion chart snapshot

  concept Isocorrosion chart Use Estimate corrosion rates for an alloy Select an alloy for a particular application with specific parameters Definition A plot of temperature versus electrolyte concentration, with lines depicting combination where similar corrosion rates are found example how to use it? An application needs a temperature and concentration as depicted by point 1 in the image above. We can plot it on the isocorrosion chart for that alloy and estimate the corrosion rate. The design of the component and corrosion allowance can be decided accordingly. A method to determine the suitability of the alloy for an application and electrolyte-temperature combination.
