EN 1337-2:2004 (E)4IntroductionThis standard considers a minimum operating temperature of –35°C.An extension down to –40°C will be considered in a future amendment.Applications beyond the range of temperature given in clause 1 need special consideration not covered by thisstandard. Characteristics and requirements given in this standard do not apply in such cases.SIST EN 1337-2:2004



EN 1337-2:2004 (E)51 ScopeThis European Standard specifies the characteristics for the design and manufacture of sliding elements andguides which are not structural bearings but only parts of them for combination with structural bearings as definedin other Parts of this European Standard.Suitable combinations are shown in Table 1 of EN 1337-1:2000.Sliding surfaces with a diameter of the circumscribing circle of single or multiple PTFE sheets less than 75 mm orgreater than 1500 mm, or with effective bearing temperatures less than –35°C or greater than 48°C are outside thescope of this European Standard.Sliding elements for use as temporary devices during construction, for example during launching of thesuperstructure, are also outside the scope of this European Standard.In this standard the specification is also given for curved sliding surfaces which are not part of separate slidingelements but which are incorporated in cylindrical or spherical PTFE bearings as per EN 1337.NOTEThe general principles detailed in this European Standard may be applied for sliding elements outside this scope,but their suitability for the intended use should be proven.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
