What is BS EN 13827 – Steel cord conveyor belts about?
BS EN 13827 is a European standard that discusses the lateral and vertical displacement of steel cords for steel cord conveyor belts. Steel cord conveyor belts are highly wear-resistant and used principally for long-haul conveying, heavy loads and physically demanding applications.
BS EN 13827 specifies methods for the determination of the mean lateral displacement between cords, and for the determination of the vertical displacement of cords relative to a mean level of steel cords within a conveyor belt.
Who is BS EN 13827 – Steel cord conveyor belts for?
BS EN 13827 on steel cord conveyor belts applies to:
- Manufacturer of steel cord belts
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13827 – Steel cord conveyor belts?
Steel cord conveyor belts are highly wear-resistant and used principally for long-haul conveying, heavy loads and physically demanding applications. They are especially suitable for high-mass or high-volume flows and abrasive materials. Made of high-tensile steel cords and various cover grades.
BS EN 13827 provides guidance on the determination of vertical displacement of steel cords which consists of Apparatus, Test piece and Procedure. BS EN 13827 provides a measurement of mean cord height and measurement of displaced cords above and below the mean value. With BS EN 13827 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
