Rail fish plate, also called rail joint, is used to connect two steel rails together.The steel rail and fish plate bear heavy pressure pushed by the moving vehicles. The abrasion between the steel and rail joint is produced when the trains passing by. So it must meet the high requirement as for the hardness of rail joint. It also needs us to pay more attention to the maintenance of rail fish plate during the application and use in railway track.
Firstly, it is necessary to use matched fish bolt to fasten the rail joint and steel rails, which can improve the functional performance of rail fish plate during the application in rail track!
Wrest the wrench tightly according to required standard when installing the rail joint on railway, ensuring the fish plate fit the steel rail exactly and each part functions well.
A second maintenance of rail fish plate is need after running about 12000km each time.
Check the interval between the fish bolt and rail joint during each time's maintenance, if the interval is relatively large, replace a new one immediately.
If there is some abnormal noise or unsteady during the process of train running, check the rail joint and other rail fasteners to ensure the safety of railway.
