BS ISO 7623:1996 is an international standard that pertains to the testing of the cord-to-coating bond in steel cord conveyor belts. The bond between the steel cords and the coating material is critical to the performance, safety, and longevity of steel cord conveyor belts, which are commonly used in various industrial applications for material handling and transportation.
This standard outlines procedures for conducting two types of tests on steel cord conveyor belts:
Initial Test: This test is conducted on new conveyor belts to evaluate the bond strength between the steel cords and the coating material when the belt is in its original, unused condition.
After Thermal Treatment Test: This test is performed after subjecting the conveyor belt to thermal treatment, simulating the conditions the belt may experience during operation at elevated temperatures. The purpose is to determine whether the bond strength remains intact after exposure to heat.
These tests are crucial for manufacturers and users of steel cord conveyor belts to ensure that the belts can withstand the mechanical stresses and thermal conditions they may encounter during operation. A strong bond between the steel cords and the coating material is essential to prevent delamination and ensure the safe and reliable performance of the conveyor system.
Standards like BS ISO 7623:1996 help maintain quality and safety in industrial applications and assist in evaluating and selecting appropriate conveyor belts for specific operational requirements. It is important to stay informed about updates or revisions to standards, and to follow the latest version or any specific national or regional variations that may apply to your particular industry and application.
