Conveyor Belt Tensile Strength Testing
Conveyor belts are very durable and are engineered to withstand high tensile forces, which often makes them difficult to test. The toughness of the material combined with the specimen’s uniform cross-sectional area can induce slippage or specimen failure at the gripping point (jaw breaks).
The challenges of testing to this standard are:
- Specimen gripping
- Pneumatic side action grips combined with integrated wedges allow for testing of high-strength strips of material without slippage or jaw breaks while maintaining high throughput. The wedges can easily be removed and the grips can then be used as normal pneumatic side action grips. The wedges are mounted directly to the grips, and specimens are wrapped around the wedge insert so that the amount of material being gripped is effectively doubled. Standard serrated jaw faces are able to grip the material without inducing jaw breaks.
