Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Track Bolts and Nuts
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This specification covers carbon steel track bolts and carbon steel nuts for use in conjunction with joint bars to connect rails in railroad track. The required chemical composition for steel is presented in details. The full section and the reduced-section bolt tension tests requirements are specified as per reference materials.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers carbon steel track bolts and carbon steel nuts for use in conjunction with joint bars to connect rails in railroad track.
1.2 Two grades of track bolts are defined:
1.2.1 Grade 1, Low-Carbon, Untreated, primarily for industrial and mine track use.
1.2.2 Grade 2, Heat-Treated, for general track use.
1.3 Two grades of nuts are defined:
1.3.1 Grade 1, Low-Carbon or Soft Steel, primarily for application on Grade 1 track bolts.
1.3.2 Grade 2, Medium-Carbon, for general application on track bolts.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
