BELT DESIGNATION

Textile Conveyor Belt Steel Cord Conveyor Belt

Example: 1000 m DIN 22102 AB 1000 EP 630/4 6/2 Y Example: 2000 m DIN 22131 AB 1200 St 1600 7T/5 X

EP Carcass material *) St Carcass material (steel cords)

4 Number of plies 7 Top cover thickness in mm
6 Top cover thickness in mm T Additional reinforcement (if any) **)
2 Bottom cover thickness in mm 5 Bottom cover thickness in mm
Y Cover grade X Cover grade

*) Note 1: In some regions, PN is used instead of EP, where P stands

for Polyester and N for Nylon.

Note 2: For textile conveyor belts it should additionally be indicated

whether solid, sealed or cut edges are preferred.

Example for a solid woven

carcass designation:

t = pitch, d = diameter, bk = edge width, B = belt width, s1 = belt

thickness, s2 = top cover thickness, s3 = bottom cover thickness, s4
= thickness between steel cords and protection layer, bt = tension
width, 1 = protection layer,

Notes:
4-ply belt *) 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%.

**) The exact construction of a textile damage protection system,

2-ply belt above referred to as "T", is not standardized.

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"
For belt nomenclature in the USA, please see here. method is used, where the average value may be above the minimum
in spite of individual unacceptable low figures.
*) Other grades are E (antistatic), K and S (antistatic and flame retardent), T (high temperature
resistant), R (low temperature resistant), G (oil and fat resistant) and C (chemical resistant).
The physical data for such grades need to be agreed upon between user and manufacturer.

The above data are given without obligation. Please use the data of the latest relevant standard/norm.
