Steel rail, also called rail track, steel track, is the main component of railway track. Its function is to guide the wheels of the locomotive, bear the great pressure of the wheel, and keep the stability of railway transportation. The rail must provide continuous, smooth and minimum rolling surfaces for the wheels. In electrified railway or automatic block section, rail can also be used as an orbital circuit.
GNEE RAIL provides various heavy rail types.Regarding heavy rail, there are 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, 60kg and 75kg.It also called P38 steel rail, P43 steel rail, P50 steel rail, P60 steel rail and P75 steel rail. The Heavy rail is mainly used for the laying of temporary transportation lines and light locomotive lines for tunnel, seaport, factories and construction sites.
The 50 kg/m rail grade offers adequate strength and toughness to meet the requirements of general railway transportation. 50kg rail from GNEE is a Plain Carbon rail suitable for most network and light freight and mining rail applications. Also suitable for crane rail, conveyor trippers, slipways, and workshop pads. For instance, on rail spurs serving local coal mines-where traffic volume is relatively moderate and train axle loads are lighter-the 50 kg/m track section can effectively fulfill transportation demands.
Advantages of the 50 kg/m rail profile include relatively lower costs and simpler installation and maintenance procedures. However, its limited load-bearing capacity necessitates line upgrades-such as replacing it with higher-weight rail sections-should traffic volumes substantially increase or train axle loads be elevated.
