The specifications for steel rails used in light rail systems typically include specific dimensions such as the rail profile, weight per meter, and length. These rails are typically made of high-strength steel to withstand the heavy loads and wear and tear in light rail operations. Additionally, they may have specific requirements for hardness, straightness, and surface finish to ensure safe and efficient operation of the light rail system.
The specifications for steel rails used in light rail systems can vary depending on the specific requirements of each system. However, some common specifications include a standard rail profile (such as the 115RE or 136RE), a specific length (ranging from 30 to 60 feet), a minimum weight per yard (ranging from 100 to 155 pounds), and a specific hardness (typically measured using the Brinell hardness test). Additionally, the steel rails should have high tensile strength, excellent wear resistance, and the ability to withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions.
