DIN EN 16974:2016-11

This test standard defines a method for the determination of the width related indentation rolling resistance of conveyor belts. The goal is that the method easily and quickly delivers values which are reproducible and relevant for the practical use. The test results enable a comparing evaluation and the design of belt conveyors with steelcord and fabric conveyor belts. This European Standard is not suitable or valid for light conveyor belts described in EN ISO 21183-1. This document has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 188 "Conveyor belts", the secretariat of which is held by SNV. The responsible national committee is NA 045-02-05 AA "Fördergurte" ("Conveyor belts") of the Rubber Technology Standards Committee (FAKAU) at DIN Standards Committee Elastomer Technology (NET).
