Concept:

Sleeper density: 

  • It means a number of rails per rail length and it is represented by M + x; where M is the rail length and x is any integer that varies from 2 to 7. 
  • For Ex. If the sleeper the density is M + 5, on a broad gauge track and the length of rail is 13 m then 13 + 5 = 18 sleepers will be used per rail length on that route.
  • In India, sleeper density varies from M + 2 to M+7.
