NOMENCLATURE  

TEXTILE CONVEYOR BELT

Example: 1000 m   DIN 22102  AB  1000  EP 630/4  6/2  Y
1000 m Length
DIN 22102 Applicable standard/norm
AB Manufacturer's acronym
1000 Belt width in mm
EP Carcass material (polyester warp / polyamide weft)
630 Belt's minimum breaking strength in N/mm
4 Number of plies
6 Top cover thickness in mm
2 Bottom cover thickness in mm
Y Rubber cover grade
* Note 1: In some regions, PN is used instead of EP, where P stands for Polyester and N for Nylon. However, Nylon is a trademark, not a scientific term.
 ** Note 2: For textile conveyor belts it should additionally be indicated whether solid, sealed or cut edges are preferred.

Notes:
*) A requirement of DIN standards for steel cord conveyor belts is that the breaking force of a vulcanized steel cord in the conveyor belt shall be at least as great as the product of the minimum breaking strength of the conveyor belt by the cord spacing with an addition of approximately 10%.

**) A damage protection system, above referred to as "T", has not been standardized yet. Ask your belt supplier for rip and impact resistance data!


In some world regions it is common to ignore norm values like minimum breaking strength (meaning that not a single test value must be below the agreed minimum). Sometimes the "root mean square" method is used, where the average value may be above the minimum in spite of individual unacceptable low figures.
