About AUSENIST Chinese Standard Rail (GB Standard)
The Chinese rail standard system comprehensively defines technical specifications for three main categories of railway rails: light rail, heavy rail, and crane rail, each designed for specific applications and load requirements in China's railway infrastructure and industrial sectors.
According to the Chinese national standard classification, light rail is defined as railway track with a nominal weight of ≤30kg per meter, while heavy rail refers to track with a nominal weight of >30kg per meter. This classification system ensures that each type of rail is precisely engineered to meet the specific load-bearing and operational requirements of different applications.
AUSENIST manufactures a complete range of Chinese Standard Rail products that fully comply with relevant national standards including GB11264-89/YB222-63 (light rail), GB2585-2007 (heavy rail), and YB/T5055-93 (crane rail). Our extensive inventory and production capacity ensure reliable supply for projects across China and international markets.
