 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.)

Coupon test for corrosion inhibitors

By
Concept Coupon test is used to gauge a material's corrosion rate in a corrosive environment. It is also used to test the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors. Parameters Material - The coupons are made from the same or similar material as that of the actual component Electrolyte - The electrolyte for exposure is the same or similar to the actual environment. Sometimes, coupons are placed in the actual environment with the component, for example in the soil with submerged pipelines. Steps Clean the coupon of any oil/grease/rust Measure the weight of original coupon - W Measure the Area of coupon to be exposed - A. Take photographs and/or optical micrographs of the coupon Immerse the coupon in the electrolyte without inhibitor Note the time of measurement - t. This is decided by the concerned parties or as per the standards followed. Take out the coupon after the time. Take photographs and/or optical micrographs of the coupon Clean the corrosion products off the coupon. DO NOT USE ROUG...

What is a Corrosion Loop - PART 2 - EXAMPLE

By
How to prepare a corrosion loop? To prepare a corrosion loop, the person in charge will look at the overall picture and answer the following questions - 1. What is the process? 2. What are the components? 3. What are the materials for each component? 4. What are the common features among them? 5. Where does the commonality end? -  This is important as that will mark the beginning of a new corrosion loop. 6. Can I use the same inspection procedure for all of them? 7. Do they corrode/get damaged in the same manner due to the same reasons? WATCH THE VIDEO FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION -       Read part 1 here! https://corrospective.com/ 😀Happy learning! 😀
