## Number of rails per km at given number of sleepers per km Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Number of rails per km = 2*(Number of sleepers per km)/(Length of single rail+Density Factor)
N = 2*(Ns)/(L+x)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Number of rails per km - Number of rails per km is the total number of rails in one kilometer or 1000m.
Number of sleepers per km - Number of sleepers per km is the total number of sleepers required in one km.
Length of single rail - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Single Rail Indian Railways has standardized a rail length of 13 m (previously 12.8 m) for broad gauge and 12 m (previously 11.8 m) for MG and NG tracks.
Density Factor - Density factor is any number which when added to a length of rail, will give sleeper Density. In India x-4, 5, 6 or 7 is used for main-tracks.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Number of sleepers per km: 1463 --> No Conversion Required
Length of single rail: 13 Meter --> 13 Meter No Conversion Required

## What is the function of sleepers?

The primary function of a sleeper is to grip the rail to gauge and to distribute the rail loads to ballast with acceptable induced pressure. The side functions of a sleeper include the avoidance of both longitudinal and lateral track movement. It also helps to enhance correct line and level of the rails.
