Rail sections — dimensions and mass (EN 13674, DIN 536, AREMA, JIS, GOST)

Standard: EN 13674-1 · DIN 536-1 · AREMA · ASTM A759 · JIS E1101 · GB 2585 · GOST R 51685

A rail is designated by its profile, usually named after its mass per metre (S 49, UIC 60, R 65, JIS 50 N) or in American practice per yard. Railway rails have a tall web and a narrow head; crane rails (the A series of DIN 536, MRS, CR, KP and QU) are short and wide, with a heavy head to spread wheel loads.

F is the width of the foot, K the width of the head and H the overall height. A profile can carry several names: the same rail is UIC 60 in an international specification, 60E1 in EN 13674-1 and Vign 60 or 60 UNI in older national lists.

UIC 60 (60E1) rail profile: foot width F 150 mm, head width K 72 mm, height H 172 mm, web 16.5 mm; area 76.86 cm², 60.34 kg/m
The UIC 60 profile: F = 150, K = 72, H = 172 mm
