This European Standard specifies a static test method for measuring the strength of a conveyor belt
mechanical fastening; the mechanical joints can be either of the type employing a connecting rod or of a
type which does not employ a connecting rod.
This standard does not cover vulcanized joints.
NOTE The purpose of the test specified in this standard is to eliminate mechanical fastenings of insufficient static
strength. A dynamic test will be established at a later date.
The standard is not applicable or valid for light conveyor belts as described in EN 873.
Ein Prüfverfahren zur Ermittlung der Festigkeit von lösbaren oder unlösbaren mechanischen Verbindungen an Fördergurten ist festgelegt.
