Number of Sleepers per km Formula Elements

Variables
Number of Sleepers per Km
Number of Sleepers per Km is the total number of sleepers required in one km.
Symbol: Ns
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
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.
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
