Just wondering what the load capacities were or how-to calculate for steel I rails. I need to install a track system in a decline shaft/mine galleries. I have a list of international standard rails from S7 to S47 but not exactly sure which ones to use. The load will be; (2) 2 tonne ore wagons (dry weight of 200kg). There will be water present in the galleries and the decline.

My question is what is max. load for;
S7
S9
S10
S12
S14
S18
etc...

And then how do I compensate for water issues?

Thank you.
