Rail Fish Plates

According to different applications, rail fish plates can be divided into four categories: 1. common fish plates 2. insulated fish plates 3. non-standard fish plates 4. compromised fish plates.

1. Common fish plates
Common fish plates are made of general material Q235 steel and can be used for various types of rails. The appearance and weight of common fish plates vary according to the weight of the railway track. The main types of common fish plates include 4-hole and 6-hole fishplates.

2. Insulated fish plates
The raw materials and production process of insulated fish plates are determined by the process standards of insulating materials. Insulated fish plates are the same size as common fish plates, and are generally used in railway sections near power plants. Insulated rail joints can effectively prevent leakage accidents.

3. Non-standard fish plates
There are many types of non-standard fishplates according to the cross-section and speed of different railways. Normally, non-standard rail joints have three different weights, pitches and appearances.

4. Compromise fish plates
Compromise rail joints are different from non-standard rail joints, including bulge railway fishplate and railway Switch Expansion Joint. Compromise rail joints can be customized and used for turnout expansion joints or railway sections with special designs and requirements. Compared with other types of rail joints, compromised rail joints are difficult to machine.

According to the different railway track sections, the standards for railway fish plates are UIC 60, UIC 54, U33, BS 80A, BS 90A, IRS 52 KG, IRS 90 Lbs, 115 RE, 136 RE, TJ 45, TJ 37, RN 45 and so on.
