ASCE 25 Rail

Product Overview

The ASCE 25 (also called 25 lb rail) light-duty rail is a high-quality, cost-effective steel rail designed for low-to-medium load applications in industrial, mining, and temporary railway systems. Manufactured to strict ASTM A1 and AREMA standards, it balances durability with lightweight design, making it ideal for environments requiring easy installation and cost-efficient material handling.

Key features

Rail height: 69.85mm ; base width: 69.85mm
Web thickness: 7.54mm; head width: 38.1mm.
Material:

55Q Carbon Steel (Default):

Chemical Composition: C 0.52–0.60%, Mn 0.60–0.90%, P ≤0.04%, S ≤0.04% (ASTM A1 Class 1)

Key Specifications:

Profile: Symmetrical wide-flange design (12.2kg/m)

Length:Standard: 6/24 m; custom lengths available upon request.

Lightweight Design for Easy Installation
12.2kg/m weight reduces transportation costs and simplifies manual handling.
Compatible with standard light rail fasteners (e.g., rail clamps, wood or concrete sleepers).
Cost-Effective Performance
55Q carbon steel offers reliable strength (tensile ≥685 MPa) for non-heavy-duty applications.
Precision Engineering
Straightness: ≤2 mm/m (ASTM A1-18 Class 1 requirement), minimizing track alignment issues.

Applications

Mining & Quarrying
Narrow-gauge railways for underground ore transport.
Temporary haul roads for mobile equipment in open-pit mines.
Industrial Facilities
Internal factory tracks for material carts and light-duty cranes (load ≤30 tons).
Automated guided vehicle (AGV) rails in warehouse logistics.
Construction & Temporary Projects
Shoring and scaffolding support rails in civil engineering sites.
Event infrastructure (e.g., temporary tramways for large-scale exhibitions).
Agriculture & Forestry
Logging railways in forestry operations.
Farm tracks for equipment trailers and irrigation systems.
