Fishplate for 38kg steel rail

Fishplate for 38kg steel rail is used for the jointion of P38 rail to rail that both end with holes, one side with three holes, two fishplate is clamped at two side of rail, the holes are fixed by fishbolts.

When connecting two pieces of 38kg steel rail, a fishplate specifically designed for this rail type is required. A fishplate, also known as a splice bar or joint bar, is a metal plate used to join and connect two pieces of rail together. Here are some key considerations for using a fishplate with 38kg steel rail:

1. Compatibility: The fishplate must be compatible with the profile and dimensions of the 38kg steel rail. This includes ensuring that the fishplate’s design, length, and bolt hole pattern match the specifications of the rail type.

2. Secure Connection: The primary function of the fishplate is to provide a secure and stable connection between the two pieces of rail. Proper alignment and fastening of the fishplate are essential to maintain the integrity of the railway track.

3. Distribution of Forces: Fishplate for 38kg steel rail helps distribute the forces and loads exerted on the rail joint, particularly under the weight and movement of passing trains. It contributes to the overall strength and durability of the railway track.

4. Maintenance and Repair: In cases of rail damage or wear, fishplates facilitate the repair process by allowing sections of rail to be replaced or repaired without the need for extensive track dismantling.

When using Fishplate for 38kg steel rail, it is important to adhere to industry standards and guidelines for installation and maintenance. Properly installed and maintained fishplates are crucial for the safety and performance of the railway track.

In summary, Fishplate for 38kg steel rail is an essential component for joining and maintaining railway tracks. It provides a secure connection, distributes forces, and facilitates maintenance and repair activities, ultimately contributing to the safe and efficient operation of the railway system.
