What is the difference between a splint and a fishplate?

Road splints and fishplates are both common accessories on railways. Many people do not know the difference between road splints and fishplates. In fact, road splints and fishplates are the same accessory, but the application fields are different, making the road splint and fishplate different. Fishplates also have different specifications and model differences. Both the splint and the fishplate are devices that fasten the rails, so their performance requirements are high. Let's analyze the specific differences between the two.

The fish plate is commonly known as the splint, which acts as a connection at the track joint. Divided into light rail, heavy rail and super heavy rail. The fishplate is a connecting fastener used for the connection between the track and the track. So, it's actually the same thing.

The road splint is a connecting fastener used for the connection between the rail and the rail, and the installation is simple and fast.

Both the fish plate and the splint are used for the rail, so their difference is related to the type of the rail. Because the model of the fish plate and the splint is based on the model of the rail, the rail can be divided into 8kg, 12kg, 15kg, 18kg, 22kg, 24kg, 30kg. The light rail connector is called a splint. 38kg, 43kg, 50kg, 60kg, 75kg, the heavy rail connector is called fish plate. The fish plate and splint produced according to the national standard are called the national standard. With the development trend of the market, non-standard fish plate and splint were derived later. The so-called non-standard is thinner and shorter than the national standard. Specifically, it depends on where these products are used, how to use them, and then determine whether to choose national standard or non-standard.
