The rail asce 60 is a standard light-duty rail section defined by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). It is widely used for crane runways, industrial tracks, mining transport systems, and workshop transfer cars. This rail type features a flat bottom design that provides stable support without requiring specialized rail chairs for most surface mounting applications.

GNEE RAIL produces asce 60 rail with strict control over rolling precision and chemical composition. We maintain consistent dimensional accuracy and weight uniformity across all production batches. This ensures that every section of rail delivers reliable mechanical properties, making installation planning more predictable and track performance more stable.
How much does a 60 lbs rail weight per meter?
For the rail asce 60, the standard weight is 60 pounds per yard. When converted to metric units, the 60 lbs rail weight per meter is approximately 29.8 kg/m.Any deviation from this standard weight indicates either an incorrect rail profile or a manufacturing inconsistency. GNEE RAIL ensures that every 60 lb asce rail leaving our facility matches the specified weight within tight tolerances.
Key Weight Advantages of ASCE 60 Rail:
- Optimal Light-Load Performance: It is classified as light rail, typically used in applications where high-tonnage heavy rail is not required, offering a perfect balance between strength and low weight.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Being a lighter section (60 lbs per yard), it reduces the material cost per meter compared to heavier rail profiles like ASCE 80 or 85.
- Easier Installation and Logistics: Its lower weight (approx. 29.76 kg/m) makes it easier to transport and install, especially in smaller, short-distance, or temporary railway systems, such as industrial sidings or factory cranes.
- High Flexibility in Application: It is suitable for areas with restricted, lighter loads, such as ports, warehouses, and mining, offering sufficient durability (available in Q235B, 55Q, U71Mn materials) without the expense of a heavier profile.
