Rail joints, also known as fishplates, serve as crucial rail fasteners connecting adjacent steel rails. Various rail joint types exist, each suited for different rail types, insulation environments, and material requirements. These joints exhibit slight variations in materials and shapes based on their specific types.
When it comes to rail joint types, several have been discussed previously. For instance, considering different installation methods, there are bolted rail joints, welded rail joints, and glued joints. In terms of production standards, there are rail joints following different standards, such as GB, BS, American (AS), and UIC standards. Today, we will explore additional rail joint types from various perspectives.
