Weight of Rails per km Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Weight of Rails per Km = Number of Rails per Km*Length of Single Rail*Weight of Rail per Meter/1000
W = N*L*w/1000
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Weight of Rails per Km - (Measured in Tonne) - Weight of Rails per km is the total weights of rail in one km distance.
Number of Rails per Km - Number of Rails per Km is the total number of rails in one kilometer or 1000m.
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.
Weight of Rail per Meter - (Measured in Kilogram per Meter) - Weight of Rail per Meter means total weight of rail in one meter. 52kg/m (really 51.89kg/m, 105lb/yd) rail is also used extensively.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Rails per Km: 154 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Single Rail: 13 Meter --> 13 Meter No Conversion Required
Weight of Rail per Meter: 52 Kilogram per Meter --> 52 Kilogram per Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = N*L*w/1000 --> 154*13*52/1000

Evaluating ... ...

W = 104.104

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

104104 Kilogram -->104.104 Tonne (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

104.104 Tonne <-- Weight of Rails per Km

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Number of rails per km at given weight of rails per km

Go Number of Rails per Km = (1000*Weight of Rails per Km)/(Length of Single Rail*Weight of Rail per Meter)

Length of Single Rail at given Weight of Rails per km

Go Length of Single Rail = (1000*Weight of Rails per Km)/(Number of Rails per Km*Weight of Rail per Meter)

Weight of Rail per m at given Weight of Rails per km

Go Weight of Rail per Meter = (1000*Weight of Rails per Km)/(Number of Rails per Km*Length of Single Rail)

Weight of Rails per km

Go Weight of Rails per Km = Number of Rails per Km*Length of Single Rail*Weight of Rail per Meter/1000

Number of Rails per km at given Number of Sleepers per km

Go Number of Rails per Km = 2*(Number of Sleepers per Km)/(Length of Single Rail+Density Factor)

Length of Single Rail at given Number of Sleepers per km

Go Length of Single Rail = (2*Number of Sleepers per Km/Number of Rails per Km)-(Density Factor)

Density Factor at given Number of Sleepers per km

Go Density Factor = (2*Number of Sleepers per Km/Number of Rails per Km)-(Length of Single Rail)

Number of Sleepers per km

Go Number of Sleepers per Km = (Length of Single Rail+Density Factor)*(Number of Rails per Km)/2

Length of Single Rail using Sleeper Density

Go Length of Single Rail = Sleeper Density-Density Factor

Density Factor using Sleeper Density

Go Density Factor = Sleeper Density-Length of Single Rail

Sleeper Density

Go Sleeper Density = Length of Single Rail+Density Factor

Number of Ssleepers using Bearing Plates

Go No of Sleepers using Bearing Plates = Number of Bearing Plates per Km of Track/2

Number of Rails using Bearing Plates

Go No of Rails using Bearing Plates = No of Bearing Plates using No of Rails/4

Number of Sleepers using Dog Spikes

Go No of Sleepers using Dog Spikes = Number of Dog-Spikes per Km of Track/4

Number of Rails using Fish Plates

Go No of Rails using Fish Plates = Number of Fish Plates per Km of Track/2

Number of Bearing Plates per km of Track

Go Number of Bearing Plates per Km of Track = 2*Number of Sleepers per Km

Number of Rails using Fish Bolts

Go No of Rails using Fish Bolts = Number of Fish Bolts per Km of Track/4

Number of Bearing Plates per km of Track using Number of Rails

Go Number of Bearing Plates per Km of Track = 4*Number of Rails per Km

Number of Dog Spikes per km of Track for Timber Sleepers

Go Number of Dog-Spikes per Km of Track = 4*Number of Sleepers per Km

Number of Fish-Plates per km of Track

Go Number of Fish Plates per Km of Track = 2*Number of Rails per Km

Number of Fish Bolts per km of Track

Go Number of Fish Bolts per Km of Track = 4*Number of Rails per Km

Length of Single Rail at given Number of Rails per km

Go Length of Single Rail = (1000/Number of Rails per Km)*2

Number of Rails per km

Go Number of Rails per Km = (1000/Length of Single Rail)*2

Weight of Rails per km Formula

Weight of Rails per Km = Number of Rails per Km*Length of Single Rail*Weight of Rail per Meter/1000
W = N*L*w/1000

Why is it necessary to calculate material requirements per km?

Because, the excess of materials will lead to uneconomy, and shortage of materials may delay the work. The exact quantities of various materials are calculated as follows for one kilometre track.
