INSULATING FISH PLATES OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR R65 RAILS

Insulating FRP rail joint fish plates NS-1 are used for insulated joints of trunk railroads.

These plates have several advantages over traditional ones in conditions of polluted atmosphere and they are more resistant to mechanical damage.

Main technical parameters and requirements to fish plates:

                                  Properties

 in assembled rail joint under  static load and

deflection not exceeding  6 mm kN (t):

b) fish plate in assembled rail joint should withstand cyclic

 loading in the range of 117.7 ... 235.4 kN with a frequency

of 9 ... 11 Hz in quantity of:
