Rail Weight Calculator Formula
The formula used to calculate the total rail weight is:
Total Rail Weight = (Total Length ÷ Rail Section Length) × Rail Weight
- Total Length: The total length of the track you need (in meters).
- Rail Section Length: The length of a single rail section (in meters).
- Rail Weight: The weight of the rail per meter (in kg/m or lb/yd).
