DIFFERENT KINDS OR TYPES OF FLAME RESISTANCE BELT
Yes, depending upon the governing body involved. Each such body will define Fire Resistance Belt by some set of test criteria involving:
1. An honest attempt to simulate their own most pressing problems.
2. An honest difference of opinion.
3. Economic and political considerations.
Test criteria currently used can include some or all of the following:
1. Small scale flame tests.
2. Large scale (gallery) flame tests.
3. Drum friction.
4. Electrical resistance tests.
Grade F – Flame Resistance Belt
Fire-resistant belting is usually used when transporting heated materials. Rubber has natural properties which can be ignited and burn.
Grade F rubber belting has added properties which increase the ignition temperature and increases resistance to fire.
An example of the use of Grade F rubber belts are at underground mines, coal mines and power stations. If a rubber conveyor belt were to catch underground, the smoke and air hazards could be potentially fatal, therefore fire-resistant belts are usually used to mitigate the risk.
Work at coal mines and power stations involve heat processes. Fire-resistant belts help to reduce the risk of the heated process causing the conveyor belt to ignite.
There is the difference between the well and the mine, the mine generally uses MT-668 standard flame retardant steel wire belt.
General flame retardant belt and general flame retardant conveyor belt distinction.
The difference between K2 and K3 is simply that the level of flame retardant is not the same. The use environment of K2 is even worse, which means that the tape of K2 requires higher requirements.
General flammable conveyor belt K2
K3 is more used in power plants and transportation of coal and other materials.
Fire resistance belt in the production process in the covering adhesive composition added flame retardant composition.
In the process of subsequent use of the product plays a role of flame retardant.
Flame retardant zones protect operations such as power plants.
Grade S – Static Electricity Conducting and Fire Resistance belt
This is a combination of both Grade E and Grade F rubber. Grade S rubber conveyor belts are both static electricity conducting and fire-resistant. The reason this combination exists is because combination is the commonly used.
