Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Formulas to find Length of Single RailOpen Variable
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.
Formulas to find Sleeper DensityOpen Variable
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
