What are the dimensions of the GB 60KG heavy rail

The GB 60 kg/m rail is a typical heavy rail model specified by the Chinese National Standard (GB 2585-2007), with a theoretical mass of approximately 60 kilograms per meter.

Its main sectional dimensions are as follows: rail height is 176 mm, rail head width is 75 mm, web thickness is about 16.5 mm, rail base width is 132 mm, and the head radius is typically around 7.5 mm.

This sectional design gives the GB 60 kg/m rail excellent bending strength and fatigue resistance, enabling it to withstand the longitudinal and lateral impacts generated by high-speed trains or heavy-haul freight transport, ensuring long-term stable track operation. The wide rail base and substantial web evenly distribute train wheel loads to the sleepers and ballast, reducing localized stress concentration and extending the service life of both the sleepers and the track foundation.

The GB 60 kg/m heavy rail is widely used in high-speed railways, mainline mixed passenger and freight railways, heavy-haul freight lines, and industrial dedicated tracks.

GNEE RAIL routinely supplies various types of rails conforming to Chinese GB standards, international UIC standards, and AREMA standards, and can provide customized processing services such as cutting, drilling, end grinding, and surface treatment. Whether for high-speed railway, heavy-haul railway, or industrial track projects, selection and custom processing can be carried out based on actual requirements to provide reliable rail solutions for the project.
