1 Scope
This document specifies a static test method for measuring the strength of a conveyor belt mechanical fastening; the mechanical joints can be either of the type employing a connecting rod or of a type which does not employ a connecting rod.
This document does not cover vulcanized joints.
This document is neither applicable to nor valid for light conveyor belts, as described in ISO 21183‑1.
NOTE The purpose of the test specified in this document is to eliminate mechanical fastenings of insufficient static strength. It is intended to establish a dynamic test at a later date.
