test, inspection, and use management of coasters.
- ADD the following contents.
Chapter 7 “Track and support column”;
Chapter 8 “Vehicle”;
Chapter 9 “Safety facilities”;
Chapter 10 “Manufacture and installation”;
Appendix A.
- CHANGE the previous “Technical requirements” to Chapter 4 “Basic design
provisions”;
ADD various loads to be considered in the design;
ADD design calculations. including stress, stiffness calculation, fatigue
strength, etc.
- Chapter 11 “Test procedures”.
ADD acceleration test requirements.
- ADJUST the previous “non-destructive testing” content. When the vehicle
speed is not less than 50 km/h, instead of no less than 70% radiographic
testing being carried out on the butt weld of track, 100% ultrasonic testing
