    Crane Rail Fixing Standards

    Uploaded by

    Venkatesha Hebbar
    This document provides standards for clamping crane rails in steel plants, including dimensions and materials for rail clamp assemblies. It specifies that rails should be clamped no more than 900mm apart using double bolt clips with alignment blocks between each pair of clamps. Wearing plates or pads must be installed under the rails to absorb uneven surfaces and reduce wear. Tolerances not specified will follow medium class standards from IS 2102.

    INTERPLANT STANDARD – STEEL INDUSTRY

    CODE OF PRACTICE FOR CLAMPING


    OF CRANE RAILS IPSS:1-08-017-14
    (First Revision)
    Corresponding IS does not exist Formerly:
    IPSS:1-08-017-97

    0. FOREWORD

    0.1 This Interplant Standard has been prepared by the Standards Committee on Lifting and
    Hoisting Equipment, IPSS 1:8 with the active participation of the representatives of all
    the steel plants, established manufacturers of crane hooks and leading consultants and
    was first adopted in March, 1997 and revised in January 2014.

    0.2 Interplant Standards for steel industry primarily aim at achieving rationalization and
    unification of parts and assemblies used in steel plant equipment and provide guidance
    in indenting stores for existing equipment (or while placing orders for additional
    requirements) by individual steel plants. For exercising effective control on inventories,
    it is advisable to select a fewer number of sizes/types from those mentioned in this
    standard. These limited sizes/types can be adopted as Plant Standards for an
    individual steel plant. It is not desirable to make deviations in technical requirements.

    1. SCOPE

    1.1 This Interplant Standard covers procedures for the clamping of crane rails.

    2. DIMENSIONS

    2.1 Dimensions of rail clamping assembly are shown in Table-1 to be read with Fig-1.
    Details of components are given in Fig-2 & 3.

    3. MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

    3.1 The materials of construction for the various components required for rail clamping as
    shown in Fig.1 shall be as follows:

    Item 1 CLIP (ISA) IS 2062:2011 Steel for General Structural Purposes (fourth
    revision) (Amendment 1)

    Item 2 BLOCK - IS 2062:2011

    supply conditions: Part III Mechanical Properties and Test Methods for
    Bolts and Studs with full loadability (third revision) Property Class 4.6

    Item 4 TAPER WASHER - IS 2062:2011

    4. INSTALLATION

    4.1 Full length wearing plates shall be provided under the trolley rails. The wearing
    plates shall be 6 mm thick and welded in place with minimum 5 mm fillet weld as
    shown in Fig-6. The wearing plates shall be 10 mm to 12 mm less in width than the
    rail base so that the welds of the wearing plates do not project beyond the rail base.
    Wearing plates shall not be considered in the strength calculation of the bridge
    girders.

    4.2 Alternatively, in case of specific heavy duty needs, synthetic elastomer pads,
    specially resistant to wear, shear and crushing, oil, grease, oxygen and ultraviolet
    rays of suitable thickness can be used in consultation with the suppliers. These
    pads help in following ways:

    - Recentering the load when the rail is mounted on a steel girder in order to
    reduce flexture stresses in the upper flange.

    - Absorb the uneven surface between rail and girder.

    - Reduce the wear of the rail as well as upper flange of the girder

    - Protect the crane mechanism.

    4.3 The rails shall be clamped to the girders with double bolt clamping clips, spaced not
    more than 900 mm apart (as shown in Fig-4) with welded alignment blocks between
    every two clamps, so that the distance of a clamp from any adjacent alignment
    block is not more than 450 mm.

    4.4 Alternatively, the rail clamps may also be positioned in a staggered arrangement as
    shown in Fig-5 where the distance between two consecutive clamps does not
    exceed 450 mm.

    4.5 Rails shall be prevented from creeping in the longitudinal direction by providing
    welded rail stops at either ends.

    5. TOLERANCES

    5.1 The tolerances wherever not specified shall be as per the “medium” class of IS
    2102 (Part 1):1993 `General tolerances – Part 1 – Tolerances for Linear and
    Angular dimensions without individual tolerance indications (third revision).
