/// 1. General information
1.1 Task
This is the dynamometer test program for the project Train 18. A new low alloyed cast iron has to be tested
through two test programs presented in this document.
ICF produces the Electro Multiple Units for Indian Railways.
The maximum train speed is 160 km/h in service and 180km/h for design.
There are train sets with 16 cars.
Each wheel set is equipped with two wheel-mounted brake discs. Per wheelset there is one parking brake
actuator foreseen.
50% of the bogies are motorized

Figure 1.1: The train configuration

The herein described testing will qualify the applicable pad material(s) and verify the thermal capacity of the
disc brakes even in worst laden condition.

At the dynamometer the universal brake caliper as prescribed in UIC 548, appendix D will be installed and
the brake caliper clamping forces and braking torques will be applied in accordance with the relevant brake
calculations.

The testing will include the emergency braking performances as well as the pneumatic service brake.
Tested will be data from train loads AW0 and AW3.

The static braking forces will be tested. Measured will be the static pad friction level and the brake-through
torques of a turning brake disc against the parking brake applied – at ambient and operational temperature
conditions.
MODIFY
In dynamic brake testing the stopping distances and retardation rates will be derived.
The thermal capacity of the disc brakes will be tested in three consecutive emergency brakes. Also, the
reference route will be simulated in pure pneumatic mode.

/// 2. Hardware

2.1 Brake disc


MODIFY
Wheel mounted brake disc made of cast iron alloyed with copper and chromium according to Wabtec Poli
drawing number 32583. The following test program will be performed with the same disc mentioned one
time with stress relieving and one time w/o it.
Outer diameter: 750 mm
Inner diameter: 460 mm
Brake radius: 297 mm (foreseen in the installation)
Wear capacity: 5 mm per disc face
Friction ring material: MS_0133_CCGJL

Figure 2.1 Brake disc drawing

Will be prepared two rings 32583, one subjected to stress relieving heat treatment and one with no
treatment; the two version will be both tested to figure out if this new grade material will require the
treatment itself. The necessity will be ensured by observing the presence of cracks and their density on
friction ring after the test.

4.8 Pass/fail criteria.

In the validation of friction pair: MODIFY


 It must be possible to reach the specified retardation of the train.
See information on pass-fail criteria after chapter 5.2.1 and 5.2.2
In the worst case it may be requested to adapt the cylinder pressures on a friction level, different
from the initially assumed value µ=0,35. In this case the test program must be modified. The allowed
data of the brake caliper and the allowed cylinder pressures of the brake cylinders in the train must
be respected.
The main reference to judge the friction coefficient and possible deviations in the test is UIC541-3
version 2017-03.
 The brake pads and the brake disc must withstand the mechanical and thermal load.
The fiction pair must be in a re-usable condition after all tests. For assessment criteria please see
separate document.
 The appraisal must consider the wear rate of the brake pad and visual inspection of brake disc and
brake pad.
 The static friction coefficients measured must assure a safe parking- and holding brake function.
(µstat>0,35)

In the validation of the thermal capacity:

 The brake pads and the brake disc must remain in a good condition, judged by crack appraisal and a
visual inspection. For assessment criteria please see separate document.
 The temperatures must be on the calculated level.
Deviating temperatures, which are more than 15% higher than the calculated, or which are higher
than 450°C must be analyzed in detail.

of testing of low performance data.

All tests to validate the friction pair will be performed with a controlled clamping force. This represents the
situation on the train. In the train there is the brake cylinder pressure provided by the brake control and
therefore the pad clamping force applied.

5.2.2 Parking- and holding brake tests.

5.2.2.1 Static friction coefficient (cold)

To determine the static friction coefficient in the cold state, a breakaway test with data according to the
following table will be carried out. The static friction coefficient for the holding brake and the parking brake
will be determined. For the measurement, the service brake cylinder is pressurized and thus the brake
linings are applied to the friction surface of the brake disk. By means of a separate motor unit of the
dynamometer the braking torque will be increased within a slow motion of the wheel happens. The static
friction coefficient will directly be determined by means of a software, programmed on the test bench.
tested are clamping forces in the range used for holding and parking brake

Wheel diameter 952 mm

Brake radius 297 mm

5.3 Thermal capacity

MODIFY
A route simulation is foreseen on the line Howrah-New Delhi in service without ED-brake support.
Also three consecutive Emergency Brake stops from 160 km/h will be performed.
These tests will be performed in the torque-controlled mode of the dynamometer. In this case the
retardation force is kept correctly. Variations in friction coefficient will continuously be equalized by means of
adapted clamping force.
This mode assures that the correct brake power will be applied.

5.3.1 The route simulation Howrah-New Delhi

A route simulation is foreseen on the line Howrah-New Delhi in service with the normal ED-brake support.
Used will be the data of the most charged bogie in the train in maximum load.

[Documentation of pad condition and weighing before and after this route simulation.
Chapter 5.2.3 can be tested between without additional inspection weighing]

Chart 5.3.1: Calculation result. Howrah-New Delhi with ED brake. One Emergency Brake application is
applied on the route.

Important Comment: The braking with ED Brake requests a blending with the disc brakes. Here the braked
mass varies from 2,0 t to 6,45 t. The dynamometer is even possible to manage this variance. But higher
mass, 9,2 t requested for Emergency brake is problematically to reach in one installation.
We need to be allowed to equalize the missing brake mass by increased initial velocity in the Emergency
brake application.

6.4 Conditioning

The brake discs must be conditioned prior to the brake pad test program. For this purpose, the same

MODIFY
friction material must be used as for the certification tests, whereby the certification tests must be started
with a new set of pads.

The conditioning for the preparation of the brake discs consists of at least 20 sliding
brakes from the certification program.

6.5 Bedding in

Before carrying out the actual tests to determine the coefficient of friction, the brake pads to be

MODIFY
tested must be ground in.

The brake pads are ground in when a wear pattern of > 85% is achieved.

Since the brake pads have to be removed to determine the actual load-bearing area, 60 braking
operations are carried out first. Subsequently, the decks are removed and evaluated regarding their
contact pattern.

Depending on the actual load-bearing area reached, between 15 -60 further braking operations are
carried out before a further evaluation of the contact pattern is carried out if necessary.

To draw conclusions about the progress of the grinding during braking, the coefficients of friction
during grinding must be documented.

The parameters of the loop-in braking are based on the braking loads of an emergency braking for an
empty vehicle.

6.6 Pre-test

After bedding in the pads, a preliminary test is carried out to determine the actual dynamic coefficient of

MODIFY
friction of the respective brake pad. Based on these results, the clamping forces are adjusted for the
following test programs (if necessary). In addition, these values are used together with the static pad
friction coefficients for the pre-selection of the tested pads. The specifications for the contact force
defined here are based on a pad coefficient of friction of 0.35.

The following general parameters apply to all pretests:

Wheel brake disc 750x460_ 30125


Braking radius (RBS u. WBS) see 2.3
Maximum speed 160 km/h
Take-off temperature ≤ 50 °C (before each braking)
Reference Brake calculation: FZ0866102-G03CAL
Measurement 10,11,12,13 (Table 2)

Based on the current weight balance, braking is carried out for different weight levels and service
braking curves from the operational vehicle to the maximum mass.
