Chinese Standard TBT2344 50kg steel rails
Application
TBT2344 50kg steel rail is widely used in various railway systems, including mainlines, industrial railways, and light rail transit due to their strength, durability, and versatility.
The TBT2344 50kg steel rail refers to a type of rail with a nominal weight of 50 kilograms per meter. This weight classification is significant as it impacts the load-bearing capacity and overall stability of the track. The rail’s dimensions are meticulously designed according to the TBT2344 standard to ensure compatibility with different fastening systems, sleepers, and ballast configurations, meeting stringent safety and performance requirements.
These rails are typically manufactured using high-quality carbon-manganese steel, which provides excellent wear resistance and toughness. They feature a standard profile with a head (top), web (vertical part), and foot (base). The head has a flat top surface for wheel contact and two lateral flanges for guidance. The web thickness is optimized to maintain strength while minimizing weight. The base or foot spreads the load onto the sleeper system effectively.
