Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between A-Type and other elastic rail clips?
A: The A-Type clip is specifically designed for 60kg/m rail with a defined clamping force range and deflection characteristics. It differs from B-Type or C-Type in shape and force adjustment, but all comply with TB/T 2491-2009 for the respective rail sizes. -
Q: Does the hot-dip galvanized coating meet international standards?
A: Yes, our hot-dip galvanizing process follows the requirements of TB/T 2491-2009, which aligns with ISO 1461 for zinc coating thickness and adhesion. The coating provides excellent corrosion protection in moderate to severe environments. -
Q: Can I get samples before bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer free samples (excluding shipping) for quality evaluation. Lead time for samples is 3–5 days after order confirmation. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces, but we can negotiate lower quantities for first-time orders or trial projects. Contact our sales team for details. -
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: For bulk orders (10,000+ pieces), production time is typically 15–20 days after deposit. Shipping time depends on the destination port – usually 20–35 days by sea. -
Q: Are these clips compatible with concrete sleepers and wooden sleepers?
A: Yes, the A-Type elastic rail clip works with both concrete and wooden sleepers when paired with the appropriate rail shoulder and insulator system. We can provide recommendations for your specific application. -
Q: What is the service life of these clips?
A: Under normal operating conditions, the clips can last 15–20 years before needing replacement, thanks to the hot-dip galvanized coating and high fatigue resistance. Periodic inspection is recommended. -
Q: Do you provide technical documentation or certificates?
A: Yes, we can provide Material Test Reports, Conformity Certificates per TB/T 2491-2009, and dimensional inspection reports upon request.
