BS EN ISO 20238:2019

This standard BS EN ISO 20238:2019 Conveyor belts. Drum friction testing is classified in these ICS categories:

• 53.040.20 Components for conveyors

This document specifies a method of testing to determine the propensity of a conveyor belt to generate heat flame or glow when held stationary, under a given tension, in surface contact around a rotating driven steel drum.

It describes means of varying the conveyor belt tension.

NOTE For conveyor belts containing steel reinforcement, it may not be possible to conduct this test in full due to the inability of the conveyor belt to comply with the requirements of 7.2. In this case, premature termination according to 7.3 can be necessary.
