- Abstract
Inspections of railway infrastructure components are carried out to determine the condition and function of railway infrastructure. One of the checks carried out is a railway fastening systems inspection. By regulations, fastening systems inspections are carried out to determine the completeness of the components and the strength of the clamping force. In this research, the fastening systems examined were elastic fastening, namely the E-clip and DE-clip types. Checking the strength of the fastening systems using the PPI CF02 tool and test methods based on ISO-22074–7-2021. This research aims to determine whether the clamp strength of elastic fastening systems types E-clip and DE-clip is still in accordance with the requirements, namely 900 – 1300 kgf for newly installed. Based on data analysis of clamping force, the average strength of E-clip clamping force is 870,2 kg and DE-clip clamping force is 1,038 kgf. The amount is bigger if compared with the needs of UIC 54 rail clamping force. Although the clamping force will reduce caused by the railway operation.
