Specifications for R-50 R-65 Tee Rails

R-50 R-65 tee rails are meticulously engineered to comply with rigorous specifications, essential for their integration and performance within railway infrastructure projects. These rails, characterised by their weight of 50 pounds per yard or more, are primarily produced in lengths of 20 feet or greater. They are tailored for a wide array of applications, including being rolled into bars, shapes, switches, and guards, as well as for the fabrication of split-headed rails and the repair of broken flanges.

A notable aspect of these tee rails is the allowance for continuous welded rail sections, provided the condition is met that no welds exist within 9 inches from the end of each rail piece. This specific criterion underscores the emphasis on structural integrity and safety, reducing potential weak points along the rail’s length which could be prone to failure under the dynamic loads of rail traffic.

The fabrication process of R-50 R-65 tee rails demands a scrupulous approach to purity and cleanliness. The rails must be entirely devoid of lint, non-ferrous inclusions, and excessive rust, ensuring that the final product is free from any impurities that could compromise its quality or performance. This meticulous attention to detail extends to the exclusion of war materials, explosives, cartridges, any form of weaponry, and ammunition, whether used or unused. Moreover, these rails are rigorously assessed to ensure they are free from radioactive materials, harmful chemicals, substances and coatings, organic waste, and any other substances that could pose a risk to safety or the environment.

The emphasis on the chemical composition and the comprehensive range of specifications highlight the commitment to delivering tee rails that not only meet but exceed the demands of modern railway systems. This stringent control over the production process ensures that R-50 R-65 tee rails maintain their position as components critical to the safe, efficient, and long-lasting railway infrastructure.
