Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for steel screw spikes and threaded inserts for use as part of a fastening system that holds rail to sleepers or slabs for railway permanent way. A preferred shape is specified and information given on optional shapes.
This Standard covers screw spikes used in the following applications:
(a) Screwed into a threaded insert that is cast into concrete.
(b) Screwed into a pre-drilled hole in timber.
This Standard does not cover the use of screw spikes as dog spikes to directly secure the rail.
