What is the cross-sectional area of 60 kg rail?
GB 60kg rail is a heavy-haul railway track material conforming to China's national standard GB2585-2007, with a unit weight of 60.64kg/m. It is made of high-carbon manganese steel (50Mn/U71Mn), featuring both high strength and anti-fatigue properties. It is specially designed for scenarios subject to dynamic load impact of locomotives and high-frequency rolling, and is applicable to national railway trunk lines, subways and industrial transportation lines.
The cross-sectional area of a GB 60KG rail is approximately 77.45 cm². This value is equivalent to 7745 mm².
