light steel rail
Industrial railway systems require rails that can withstand frequent operation while remaining cost-effective. GB Standard 24KG Light Steel Rail has become a preferred option for industrial railways due to its optimized structural design and mechanical performance.
A light steel rail is defined by its reduced cross-sectional area compared to heavy railway rails. However, "light" does not mean weak. The 24kg rail offers excellent load-bearing capability within its designed application range.

Mechanical Properties of GB 24KG Rail
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥690 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥410 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥10% |
| Hardness | HB 240 – 300 |
These properties ensure sufficient resistance to deformation and surface wear in industrial operations.
Dimensional Accuracy and Stability
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Straightness | ≤1/1000 |
| Twist | ≤1/2000 |
| Length Tolerance | ±5 mm |
Precision manufacturing ensures consistent rail alignment and smoother vehicle movement.
Comparison with Heavier Rails
| Rail Weight | Installation Cost | Load Capacity | Typical Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24kg | Low | Medium | Low |
| 38kg | Medium | High | Medium |
| 50kg | High | Very High | High |
For factories and mines where speed is low and loads are controlled, the 24kg rail provides optimal cost-performance.
Installation Advantages
- Compatible with standard GB fasteners
- Can be cut and welded easily
