How much is the railroad screw spike affected by temperature and humidity?
2 min readrailroad screw spike is a very important accessory. For railway equipment, there is no railroad screw spike. Railroads are not operational, and the use of railroad screw spike products is affected by related factors such as weather and season. When using railroad screw spike, it is necessary to combine the relevant situation of railway rails to see how the installation and maintenance tools and the properties of that railway are. On top of that, we also have to consider the effects of seasonal and environmental changes.
railroad screw spike is an accessory, do not underestimate this accessory, with the general metal equipment has similar performance. During installation and maintenance, the common installation tool for railroad screw spikes is a crowbar, which is also called a railroad screw spike pry or railroad screw spike lift in some places. The reason why this tool is used for railroad screw spike maintenance and replacement is that railroad screw spikes also have corrosion, wear, fracture, deformation, etc. It appears in common metals during use. These problems are inextricably linked to seasonal and environmental influences.
During seasonal changes, changes in air humidity and temperature can both have an irreversible effect on railroad screw spike. These two conditions occur in areas with different seasons or large temperature differences. Because railroad screw spike is made of metal, it is especially prone to corrosion like common metal, and it is difficult to solve this problem with anti-corrosion coatings. Therefore, ordinary railroad screw spike will rust in the rainy season, which will affect corrosion. The change in temperature directly leads to the strength of the railroad screw spike. It is common to use antifreeze spike products at high altitudes. Compared with ordinary cleats, this product has its own unique considerations from every Angle.
The above problems are only part of the issues related to the use of railroad screw spike. In fact, many conditions such as strong convection weather, thunderstorms, high temperature and high pressure environment will lead to the decline of railroad screw spike in quality, shape, strength, durability and many other aspects.
