EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 21182 standard. ISO 21182 specifies test methods for determining dynamic and static coefficients of friction for light conveyor belts according to ISO 21183-1.
The coefficient of friction of light conveyor belts should be viewed from two different angles regarding reference material selection. One aspect is the friction of the underside of the belt. In practice this is not critical because it is low. Regardless of whether a steel or wooden table is used, the coefficient of friction in most cases is in the range of 0,2 to 0,3.
In contrast, upper face caps display a wide range of values depending on their actual function. To achieve this function, the material itself and the surface pattern can be changed, but the testing procedure is the same in all cases. Thus, it becomes clear that the chosen steel panel represents a compromise. Its main features are the repeatability of the surface finish and the non-critical frictional behavior against all types of tape coatings.
This international standard allows comparison of all types of conveyor belts to obtain reliable results as a reference. This can assist buyers who need guidance in choosing the right belt for their particular application.
Using the standardized metallic test panel, the method is specifically for comparing the coefficients of friction of different lightweight conveyor belts. Values taken under application conditions always depend on friction partners.
