Discover the comprehensive guide to steel rails, covering the classifications of light rails, heavy rails, and crane rails, along with their standard sizes and material grades.

P43 Rail (43 kg/m rail) is a light-weight heavy rail profile in the Chinese railway standard system. It acts as the light-grade heavy rail for non-mainline railway projects. Manufactured in accordance with national standard GB/T 2585-2007 Railway Rails and industrial railway specifications, P43 rail is designed for medium-load railway applications, balancing structural performance, long-term durability and overall cost efficiency.

AREMA 136RE rails are a commonly used heavy-duty rail profile, it is also widely known as TR68 rail. 136RE rails are mostly supplied for railway tracks in mining operations and mainline railways.

The 136RE rail (also known as TR68) is a heavy-duty steel rail conforming to AREMA (American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association) standards.

ASCE 60 rail is a lightweight American Standard Tee rail weighing 60 pounds per yard (29.76-30.1kg/m), commonly used for light-duty, industrial, and mining rail applications.

The UIC 54 rail, also referred to as 54E1, derives its designation “54” from its weight per meter of rail length, equating to 54 kilograms per meter. Compliant with the technical standards established by the International Union of Railways (UIC), this rail is primarily employed in heavy-duty freight transport railways.

UIC54 and UIC60 are standard, I-shaped steel rails defined by the International Union of Railways (UIC) under the EN 13674-1 standard.

Fish plates (joint bars) are metal plates bolted to both sides of rail ends to join them, maintaining vertical/horizontal alignment and allowing for thermal expansion. Fish bolts are specialized, high-strength bolts used to secure these plates to the rail web, ensuring structural integrity. They prevent derailments by maintaining stability.

A rail fish plate (also known as a joint bar or splice bar) is a metal plate bolted to the ends of two rails to join them together into a continuous track. These crucial components ensure structural stability, maintain alignment in both horizontal and vertical planes, and allow for thermal expansion/contraction.

Railway fish plate, it is also called rail joint or joint bar. As one of the rail components, rail joint’s function is different from other rail components. Rail joint is a flat metal plate usually used to connect adjacent two rails by a number of rail bolts or railroad spikes.
