Aggregates for railway ballast

Aggregates for railway ballast

This European Standard specifies requirements for natural crushed unbound aggregates for use in construction of railway track. For the purposes of this standard the aggregate is referred to as railway ballast. The necessity for testing for all properties specified in this standard is limited, depending upon the end use of the railway ballast.

Gesteinskörnungen für Gleisschotter

Die vorliegende Europäische Norm legt die Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen für die Verwendung beim Bau von Bahnkörpern fest, die durch Aufbereitung natürlicher oder industriell hergestellter Materialien oder gebrochener ungebundener rezyklierter Gesteinskörnungen gewonnen werden. Für die Zwecke dieser Norm werden die Gesteinskörnungen als Gleisschotter bezeichnet.
Sie enthält Festlegungen für die Bewertung der Konformität von Produkten nach dieser Europäischen Norm.
ANMERKUNG   Die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm basieren auf Erfahrungen mit Gesteinskörnungsarten, die sich in der Anwendung bewährt haben. Die Verwendung von Gesteinskörnungen aus Bezugsquellen ohne eine derartige Bewährung, wie z. B. von rezyklierten oder in einem industriellen Prozess entstandenen Gesteinskörnungen, sollte sorgfältig geprüft werden. Derartige Gesteinskörnungen könnten trotz Übereinstimmung mit sämtlichen Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm Eigenschaften besitzen, die nicht im Mandat M 125 (in der geänderten Fassung) erfasst sind und die nicht für die Gesamtheit der Gesteinskörnungsarten mit einer bewährten Anwendung gelten. Falls erforderlich, können für die Beurteilung ihrer Eignung die am jeweiligen Verwendungsort geltenden Vorschriften herangezogen werden.

Granulats pour ballasts de voies ferrées

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les caractéristiques des granulats obtenus par traitement de matériaux naturels ou artificiels ou de granulats recyclés concassés utilisés dans la construction de voies ferrées. Pour les besoins de la présente norme, les granulats sont appelés ballasts de voies ferrées.
Elle fournit l'évaluation de conformité des produits.
NOTE   Les exigences de la présente Norme européenne sont basées sur l'expérience acquise avec des types de granulats disposant d'un mode d'utilisation établi. Il convient de prêter une attention particulière à l'utilisation de granulats provenant de sources ne présentant pas ce mode d'utilisation, par exemple, les granulats recyclés ou les granulats issus de certains produits industriels dérivés. Il est possible que de tels granulats, dont il convient qu'ils soient conformes à toutes les exigences de la présente Norme européenne, possèdent d'autres caractéristiques non incluses dans le mandat M 125 (selon amendement) et qui ne s'appliquent pas à la totalité des types de granulats dotés d'un modèle établi d'utilisation. Le cas échéant, les dispositions en vigueur sur le lieu d'utilisation peuvent être adoptées pour évaluer leur aptitude à l'emploi.

Tests for general properties of aggregates - Part 3: Procedure and terminology for simplified petrographic description
SIST EN 932-3:2022

This document specifies a basic procedure for the identification of the petrographic type of natural aggregates. It applies for usual requirements for the procedure and terminology for simplified petrographic description. Precise petrographic identification, of technical mineralogy and petrography for civil engineering or specific end uses, requires further examination and is therefore excluded from the scope of this document.
NOTE 1 In principle, a qualified geologist (petrographer), with experience of materials used in civil engineering and aware of the composition of the deposit, has sufficient skills to sample and name the rock.
NOTE 2 For precise petrographic identification and technical requirements for specific applications, a non-exhaustive list of reference literature is given in the Bibliography.
This document applies only to natural aggregates. It is used to describe rocks and sediments. It does not apply to the description and identification of manufactured or recycled aggregates.

Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates - Part 6: Determination of particle density and water absorption
SIST EN 1097-6:2022

This document specifies the reference methods used for type testing and in case of dispute, for the determination of particle density and water absorption of normal weight and lightweight aggregates. Other methods can be used for other purposes, such as factory production control, provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. For convenience, some of these other methods are also described in this document.
The reference methods for normal weight aggregates are:
-   a wire basket method for aggregate particles retained on the 31,5 mm sieve (Clause 7, except for railway ballast which uses Annex B);
-   a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm sieve and retained on the 4 mm sieve (Clause 8);
-   a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 4 mm sieve and retained on the 0,063 mm sieve (Clause 9).
In Clauses 7, 8 and 9, three different particle densities (oven-dried particle density, saturated and surface-dried particle density and apparent particle density) and water absorption are determined after a soaking period of 24 h. In Annex B, the oven-dried particle density is determined after soaking in water to constant mass.
For aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm sieve and retained on the 4 mm sieve, the wire basket method in Clause 7 can be used as an alternative to the pyknometer method in Clause 8.
NOTE 1   The wire basket method can also be used for single aggregate particles retained on the 63 mm sieve.
NOTE 2   The pyknometer method described in Clause 8 can be used as an alternative for aggregates passing the 4 mm sieve and retained on the 2 mm sieve.
The reference methods for lightweight aggregates are:
-   a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm sieve and retained on the 4 mm sieve (Annex C). Three different particle densities (oven-dried; saturated and surface-dried; apparent) and water absorption are determined after pre-drying and a soaking period of 24 h;
-   a method, using a Büchner funnel, for aggregate particles passing the 4 mm sieve (Annex D). The three particle densities and water absorption are determined using a vacuum in the range of 50 mbar to 100 mbar for at least five minutes.
Three other methods for normal weight aggregates can be used to determine the pre-dried particle density, as specified in normative Annexes A and H:
-   a wire basket method for aggregate particles passing the 63 mm sieve and retained on the 31,5 mm sieve (A.3);
-   a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm sieve and retained on the 0,063 mm sieve (A.4);
-   a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm sieve, including the 0/0,063 mm size fraction (Annex H).
NOTE 3   If water absorption is less than about 1,5 %, the apparent particle density can be assessed using the pre-dried particle density method as defined in Annex A.
The quick method in normative Annex E can be used in factory production control to determine the apparent particle density of lightweight aggregates.
The method in informative Annex F can be used to determine the particle density and water absorption of aggregate particles passing the 4 mm sieve.
Data on the density of water at various temperatures is specified in normative Annex G.
Guidance on the significance and use of the various density and water absorption parameters is given in informative Annex I.
Precision data are presented in informative Annex J.
