Steel rails can be categorized based on the specific type of steel utilized in their production. This categorization includes various types such as ordinary manganese-containing steel rails, copper-containing plain carbon steel rails, high silicon copper-containing steel rails, as well as distinct categories like copper rails, manganese rails, and silicon rails. Each of these types has unique properties and applications, which are crucial for different railway systems.
Primarily, there are three standard weight classifications for these steel rails, which are 38 kg, 43 kg, and 50 kg. These weights refer to the mass of the rail per meter, and they are designed to meet varying requirements based on the expected load and usage conditions. Additionally, for select routes that may demand higher durability and strength, 45 kg rails are utilized. Furthermore, for routes that experience particularly high traffic volumes and require enhanced performance due to increased vehicle speeds, there are plans to implement 60 kg rails.
In China, the technical specifications and conditions governing the production and use of these steel rails, specifically those weighing between 38 kg and 50 kg per meter, are outlined in the standard GB2585-81. This standard ensures that the rails meet safety and performance requirements necessary for the efficient operation of the railway network. By adhering to these specifications, the integrity and reliability of the rail infrastructure can be maintained, ultimately supporting safe and effective transportation.
