The Standard deals with R75 and R65 wide-gauge rails, made from open-hearth, fully-killed steel. Rails of the R65 type with stepped-up strength, from alloy carbon steel and hardening on the whole length, are produced according to special technical conditions. The chemical composition of steel is indicated in the Table. Technical specifications describe mechanical, physical and chemical requirements of both types of rails. In the first sort are included rails conforming to the requirements of this standard. To to second sort belong rails which have several divergencies: in chemical composition, in temporary resistance during stretching, in bending deflection, and in dimensions exceeding admissible deflections, indicated in corresponding GOSTs; finally, according to fine cracks, not exceeding a depth of 3 mm, and 1 mm in the middle third of the rail flange. Testing and marking procedures are described.
