maximum capacity. Two tests should be conducted. One when loaded to full height and one
when loaded to half height. In the full height test the test wagon should be loaded with
cardboards to half the load limit <strong>of</strong> the wagon. In the half height test the test wagon should be
loaded with concrete blocks or equivalent to minimum 40% the stencilled load limit <strong>of</strong> the
wagon.
In addition to the two bulkheads types mentioned above there are a column type bulkheads.
They are also <strong>for</strong> Box cars and special cushioning devices are needed.
The strength <strong>of</strong> the column type bulkheads can be tested by impact tests as below. (C-325)
The test wagon should be impacted into a series <strong>of</strong> three wagons at 6.4, 9.7, 12.9 and 16 km/h.
A reverse impact should be at 12.9 km/h. The three wagons should be 70-ton wagons loaded
to capacity. Two tests should be conducted. One when loaded to full height and one when
loaded to half height. In the full height test the test wagon should be loaded with a
representative shipping container load to half the load limit <strong>of</strong> the wagon. In the half height
test the test wagon should be loaded with a representative shipping container load to
minimum 40% the stencilled load limit <strong>of</strong> the wagon.
6.9 <strong>Securing</strong> devices (rings, hooks, chains)
6.9.1 UIC
Lashing points
For the direct or indirect fastening <strong>of</strong> goods, securing rings, eyelets or hooks made from steel
rod with diameter <strong>of</strong> at least 16 mm should be used. When using two securing points (facing
each other) a load weight <strong>of</strong> maximum 10 ton can be secured <strong>for</strong> flat wagons and maximum 5
tons <strong>for</strong> covered wagons. (RIV II – 2.6)
G-type
The number <strong>of</strong> securing devices shall be between 28 and 36, depending on type <strong>of</strong> wagon, and
located in two rows on the walls.
<strong>Securing</strong> rings must be made <strong>of</strong> round-bar iron with a diameter <strong>of</strong> at least 14 mm. Each device
must be able to withstand a tensile <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> 85 kN at an angle <strong>of</strong> 45° to the floor surface and
30° to the longitudinal centre-line <strong>of</strong> the wagon. (UIC 571-1)
E-type
Open wagons with walls shall have devices made <strong>of</strong> round-bar iron <strong>of</strong> at least 16 mm in
diameter. (UIC 571-1)
K-type
Flat wagons shall have rings and fastening bars made <strong>of</strong> round-bar iron <strong>of</strong> at least 16 mm
diameter. Fastening devices in the floor shall withstand a tensile <strong>for</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> 170 kN at an angle
<strong>of</strong> 45° to the floor and 30° to the longitudinal centre-line <strong>of</strong> the wagon. (UIC 571-1)
Os-type
The wagon shall be equipped with sheeting rings made <strong>of</strong> round-bar iron <strong>of</strong> at least 16 mm
diameter. (UIC 571-1)
