bar of 20.6 mm.
• Used PR-401pandrol clip
14/32
Rubber Pad:-
• Prevents abrasion and
damage of concrete sleeper
by the sharp edges and
vibrations of rail.
• Size of rubber bad -
270x234x10mm
• Rubber pad is grooved
which provides grip between
rail and sleeper
• Laid in such a way that
grooves are parallel to rail .
15/32

which on solidification form the welded joint.
• Gap should be of 1 inch.
• The fuel is oxygen and propane

and generate clear echo patterns.
• When sound waves bump into a boundary having a
different medium, they are transmitted back.
• The USFD machine is calibrated to 3mm flaw in the rail.
