Fishplates for Railway Rails: Specification for Rolled Steel Fishplates
Also Known As:
BS 47-1:1991 is a standard that specifies the requirements for rolled steel fishplates used for railway rails. This standard specifically applies to fishplates that are manufactured to correspond with the rail sections specified in BS 11.
Fishplates, also known as splice bars, are used to join two sections of railway rail together. They play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and stability of the railway track.
The standard outlines the specific requirements for the dimensions, material properties, and mechanical properties of the fishplates. It provides guidelines on the minimum thickness, width, and length of the fishplates, as well as the appropriate types of steel that should be used.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the fishplates used in railway applications meet the necessary specifications and are able to withstand the demanding conditions of railway operations. Compliance with this standard helps to ensure the safety and reliability of railway tracks.
