ANNEXURE-II
PERFORMANCE TEST FOR DOOR OPERATING MECHANISM (DOM)

1.

The Wagon Manufacturer should install a Test Rig/use the pattern wagon along with a
suitable pit below it to test the complete DOM to simulate the working condition of DOM.

2.

For each order, the DOM shall be actuated 2000 times, 1000 times door opening and 1000
times door closing on the test rig/pattern wagon. For 1000 door opening and 1000 door
closing, the failure of the DOM shall not exceed 0.3%.

3.

The DOM shall be checked for five times with full payload on prototype wagon by unloading
the payload over the pit. It shall be ensured that the moving parts under the centre sill do not
infringe during movement. The unloading Test is however, not mandatory for those Wagon
Builders who has already executed an order earlier of BOBRNM1 /BOBRNHSM1 Wagon
with Double Link Door Mechanism of RDSO Design and have no adverse report from
Railways on functioning of Door Mechanism. Loaded prototype wagon in this case should be
moved and checked inside the Builders Yard for a distance of 5 Kms at a speed not less than
6 Kmph.

4.

During the Unloading Test, the wagon unloading time shall be checked and recorded. The
unloading time should be 15 seconds or less.

5.

Leakage Test

(i)

Charge the system to maximum operating pressure and cut-off the supply of air to the
system.

(ii)

Observe the reservoir pressure for one minute and record the drop of pressure, if any. It
should not exceed 0.1 kg/cm2 in one minute.

6.

Self Operation
Operate the DOM with air from reservoir only with main supply to reservoir cut-off. Record
the number of cycle, which can be done, and pressure drop for each cycle.

ANNEXURE-IV
NYLON BRAKE GEAR BUSHES IN THE BRAKE GEAR
(ON UNDER FRAME)
1.

Brake gear bushes of Nylon-66 shall be procured as per Schedule of Technical Requirements
(STR) to relevant drawing of the relevant wagon outlined in RDSO index drawing no. WD91071-S-50 (with latest alteration).

2. Nominal dimensions of Nylon-66 bushes to be used will be same as of steel bushes, inclusive of
step sizes, outside diameter. However, the tolerances and the chamfering should
be as per
Fig.1 of the STR.
3. Universal holes should be drilled initially in the form type support brackets or fork end of
pull/push rods. These holes should be drilled together to the required size only after the assembly
but before the Nylon bushes are fitted therein. This will ensure that the two holes are concentric
and, therefore, the pins passing through the bushes fitted therein will not tilt.
4. Steel pins used with the Nylon-66 bushes shall be with fine
surfaces with the bush.
