Conveyor Belt Equations
The troughability of a conveyor belt can be estimated by using this equation, where . mquot;G = belt mass in kg/m#178;. B = belt width in m. Sz = carcass thickness in mm. Cq = transverse rigidity factor (polyamide = 18, steel cord = 42) Test. TROUGHABILITY . The modulus of elasticity is calculated by dividing the stress by the strain, where . M = modulus of elasticity (ISO 9856) F = force (N)
