Length of Single Rail at given Number of Rails per km Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Single Rail = (1000/Number of Rails per Km)*2
L = (1000/N)*2
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Number of Rails per Km - Number of Rails per Km is the total number of rails in one kilometer or 1000m.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Rails per Km: 154 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = (1000/N)*2 --> (1000/154)*2

Evaluating ... ...

L = 12.987012987013

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.987012987013 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.987012987013 ≈ 12.98701 Meter <-- Length of Single Rail

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

< Materials Required per km of Railway Track Calculators

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 Sleepers per km

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

Sleeper Density

Go Sleeper Density = Length of Single Rail+Density Factor

Number of Rails per km

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

Length of Single Rail at given Number of Rails per km Formula

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

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 kilometer track.
