Steel rail is an important part of the rail track structure. It guides the wheels and transmits the load. It needs to have sufficient strength, stability and wear resistance. The cross-section of the rail adopts an I-shaped shape to make the rail have the best bending resistance. The rail consists of a rail head, a rail waist and a rail bottom.
The type and strength of the steel rail are expressed in approximate mass (kilograms) per meter length. For example, the current standard rail types in China are 43kg/m, 50kg/m, 60kg/m, 75kg/m, etc. The standard length of Chinese rails: 43kg/m is 12.5m or 25m; the length of rails above 50kg/m is 25m, 50m, and 100m. The seamless line generally uses 100m rails (100-meter fixed-length rails) produced by the steel plant to be transported to the welding rail factory to be welded into 500m long rails, and then transported to the construction site to be welded into the required length.
Xinda Rail is the largest steel rail manufacturer in China. We can provide rails of various sizes. If you have a railway project that requires rails, please contact us for more information and a quote.
