Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Foreign Specifications for Railway Materials: Rails, Wheels, Axles, Tires Tests and Taking of Test Specimens. - A synopsis is given in Table 5 showing what tests are required for rails and how many must be made for a given lot. Ultimate strengths varying from 80 000 pounds per square inch to 1 1 2 000 pounds per square inch are called for, with elonga tions Oi from 15 to 8 per cent. In some cases the values for the ultimate strength and the elongation must stand in some pre scribed relation. In only one case is the yield point specified.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Technologic Papers of the Bureau of Standards: Some Foreign Specifications for Railway Materials: Rails, Wheels, Axles, Tires As a result of this inquiry the consuls general of the United States resident in the several countries mentioned took great pains to secure as complete data as possible; and their requests for information were cordially responded to by the several railway administrations, whether under governmental or private control. The Bureau of Standards takes this opportunity of expressing its appreciation of the effective cooperation by the Department of State and of the foreign railway administrations; and it is hoped that the information thus obtained may be of some interest and service to the railways and manufacturers of railway material in the United States, in that it gives an opportunity to compare American and European practice for some of those portions of railway equipment which are most subject to the failures causing accidents. There are also included some accident statistics which, however, are to be considered mainly as indicative of their relative frequency in the several countries, and as caused by failure of railway material. An exact comparison can not be made on account of different classifications and methods used in reporting accidents. The discussion and comparison of the several types of foreign specifications and tests of rails, wheels, axles, and tires, treated by subjects, forms the main text of the report, while the detailed specifications and descriptions of tests are given by countries in the appendix. The authors take this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of the aid rendered in the translation of the Italian specification to Mr. A. Fanti and in the translation of the Swedish specification to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. II. Some Accident Statistics The data gathered relative to the number and causes of accidents are shown in Table I, in which there is also included for comparison similar figures for the United States, culled mainly from the reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The foreign figures are evidently, in many cases, very incomplete, and the basis of computation is not a common one for the various countries, so that strictly exact numerical comparisons with the American figures can not be made.
