Railway applications - Pneumatic half couplings

This document applies to pneumatic half couplings designed to couple either the brake pipes or main reservoir pipes of railway vehicles, without taking the type of vehicles and track-gauge into consideration.
This document gives the requirements for the design, dimensions, testing and quality assurance of pneumatic half couplings.

Bahnanwendungen - Bremskupplungen

Dieses Dokument ist für Bremskupplungen anzuwenden, die so gestaltet sind, dass sie entweder die Hauptluft¬leitung oder die Hauptluftbehälterleitung von Schienenfahrzeugen miteinander verbinden, unabhängig von der Fahrzeugbauart und der Spurweite.
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Konstruktion, die Abmessungen, die Prüfung sowie die Qualitätssicherung der Bremskupplungen fest.

Applications ferroviaires - Demi-accouplements pneumatiques

Le présent document s'applique aux demi-accouplements pneumatiques conçus pour réaliser l'accouplement de la conduite générale de frein ou de la conduite principale des véhicules ferroviaires, indépendamment du type de véhicule et de l'écartement des voies.
Le présent document spécifie les exigences à satisfaire en matière de conception, de dimensions, d’essais et d’assurance qualité des demi-accouplements pneumatiques.
