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

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Weight of Rails per Km: 104.104 Tonne --> 104.104 Tonne No Conversion Required
Number of Rails per Km: 154 --> No Conversion Required
Length of Single Rail: 13 Meter --> 13 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w = (1000*W)/(N*L) --> (1000*104.104)/(154*13)

Evaluating ... ...

w = 52

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

52 Kilogram per Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

52 Kilogram per Meter <-- Weight of Rail per Meter

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

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

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

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

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.
