Density Factor using Sleeper Density Formula Elements

Variables
Density Factor
Density Factor is any number which when added to a length of rail, will give sleeper Density. In India x-4, 5, 6 or 7 is used for main-tracks.
Symbol: x
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Sleeper Density
Sleeper Density is defined as the number of sleepers required under one rail length of railway track. It is expressed as (n + x) where n is the length of one rail in meter and x is constant.
Symbol: S.D.
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Single Rail
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.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
