Description of Rail Fish Plate
In the field of rail transportation, the rail fish plate is a crucial connecting component. Depending on different usage scenarios and load-bearing capacity, its model and specifications vary. Light rail fish plates are suitable for lightweight lines. Common models include 8KG, 9KG, 12KG, 15KG, 18KG, 22KG, 24KG, and 30KG, which are usually referred to as track clamps. For heavier heavy rails, such as 38KG, 43KG, 50KG, and 60KG, as well as lifting rails QU70, QU80, QU100, and QU120, they are called inclined joint clamps and are mainly used in sections with stronger load-bearing capacity.
Internationally, there are corresponding standards for rail fish plates as well. For instance, there are BS47 and UIC series. Among them, the BS series includes BS80A and BS75R, while the UIC series has models such as UIC60 and UIC54. These standards reflect the advanced and unified nature of international technology.
It is worth noting that the rail fish plates are typically designed in two types: four-hole and six-hole. The four-hole type is suitable for certain specific installation requirements, while the six-hole type offers greater load-bearing capacity and connection flexibility. These differences enable the rail fish plates to meet the diverse needs of various complex railway systems.
