Rail Joint Bar Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Rail Joint Bar / Fishplate | Connects two rail ends to form a continuous track |
| Standard | GB/T 2345 (China), EN 13230 (EU), AREMA (US) | Varies by region and rail type |
| Material | High-carbon steel (50Mn, 60Si2Mn) or alloy steel | Heat-treated for strength and wear resistance |
| Surface Treatment | Black oxide or hot-dip galvanized | Prevents rust and corrosion |
| Size (Common) | Length: 600–820 mm Width: 120–180 mm Thickness: 20–30 mm |
Matches rail profile (e.g., UIC60, BS75R) |
| Bolt Holes | 4 or 6 holes (for M22/M24 bolts) | Ensures secure fastening |
| Load Capacity | Withstands 300–500 kN dynamic loads | Depends on rail weight and traffic |
| Application | Traditional rail joints, temporary fixes, low-speed tracks | Being replaced by welded rails in high-speed lines |
Key Features
✔ Strong Connection – Distributes load across rail joints
✔ Easy Installation – Bolted design allows quick repairs
✔ Cost-Effective – Cheaper than continuous welded rail (CWR)
