  2. Steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_grades

    EN 10027-1 steel grade designation system. European standard steel grade names fall into two categories: [1] Steel specified by purpose of use and mechanical properties. Steel specified by chemical composition. The inclusion of a letter 'G' before the code indicates the steel is specified in the form of a casting.

  3. Rail profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_profile

    The rail profile is the cross sectional shape of a railway rail, perpendicular to its length. Early rails were made of wood, cast iron or wrought iron. All modern rails are hot rolled steel with a cross section (profile) approximate to an I-beam, but asymmetric about a horizontal axis (however see grooved rail below).

  4. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Structural steel. Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices ...

    1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8. +. 1⁄2 in ) 1,600 mm ( 5 ft 3 in ) 2016–present. Australia. In Victoria, several wheat lines amounting to about 1,100 km (680 mi) of track, were (or are to be) converted to standard gauge, including: [6] Maryborough to Mildura, Yelta and Murrayville; Sea Lake and Manangatang.

  6. SAE steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_steel_grades

    SAE steel grades. The SAE steel grades system is a standard alloy numbering system (SAE J1086 – Numbering Metals and Alloys) for steel grades maintained by SAE International. In the 1930s and 1940s, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and SAE were both involved in efforts to standardize such a numbering system for steels.

  7. ASTM A500 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASTM_A500

    ASTM A500 is a standard specification published by the ASTM for cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel structural tubing in round, square, and rectangular shapes. It is commonly specified in the US for hollow structural sections, but the more stringent CSA G40.21 is preferred in Canada. Another related standard is ASTM A501, which is a ...

  8. Hardness comparison - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness_comparison

    Hardness comparison. A variety of hardness -testing methods are available, including the Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, Meyer and Leeb tests. Although it is impossible in many cases to give an exact conversion, it is possible to give an approximate material-specific comparison table for steels.

    foot; perch, used variously to measure length or area; acre and acre's breadth; furlong; mile; The best-attested of these is the perch, which varied in length from 10 to 25 feet, with the most common value (16 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 5.03 m) remaining in use until the twentieth century. [1] Later development of the English system continued in 1215 in ...
