The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO te

18、chnical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates close

19、ly with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft I

20、nternational Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document

21、may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 340 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 41, Pulleys and belts (including veebelts), Subcommittee SC 3, Conveyor belts.This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edi

22、tion (ISO 340:2004), which has been technically revised.

23、f test is not designed to assess the fire hazard of any given product. The results may help in the assessment of ignition hazard but should not be used in isolation as evidence that a product or material is safe.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies a method for assessing, on a small scale, t

24、he reaction of a conveyor belt to an ignition flame source. It is applicable to conveyor belts having a textile carcass as well as steel cord conveyor belts.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its a

29、 (after applying a current of air)The flame shall not re-appear (see 5.7.6).5 Test method5.1 Health and safety5.1.1 Smoke and fumesThe ignition and burning of polymeric materials can cause smoke and toxic gases to be released, which can affect the health of operators. It is therefore of great import

30、ance that suitable means be provided to clear the test area of smoke and fumes.5.1.2 Handling, storage and disposal of liquefied petroleum gas containersAll the relevant local safety regulations shall be taken into account for the handling and storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and for the dis

31、posal of used LPG containers.If local safety regulations require the LPG cylinders to be stored in an environment that is cooler than the test area or some distance from the test rig, a sufficient length of tubing is needed inside the controlled environment to ensure that the gas equilibrates to the

32、 required temperature before flow measurement. One way to facilitate this is to pass the gas (before flow measurement) through a metal tube immersed in water maintained at 25 C.5.2 PrincipleA test piece cut from a conveyor belt is suspended vertically above a gas flame for a specified time, after wh

33、ich the gas flame is removed. The afterflame time is measured. Any re-flame is noted when the test piece is later subjected to a current of air.5.3 Test pieces5.3.1 GeneralThe test pieces described in 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 shall be taken at a minimum distance of 50 mm from the edges of the belt.5.3.2 Conv

35、tact, in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt;c) three test pieces, with covers removed (see 5.3.2.1.2), in the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt;d) three test pieces, with covers removed (see 5.3.2.1.2), in the transverse direction of the conveyor belt.5.3.2.1.2 Covers may be rem

36、oved see 5.3.2.1.1 c) and d) by stripping, cutting or buffing. If covers are removed by buffing, care should be exercised to ensure that the test piece is not overheated or that any threads of a textile carcass are not damaged.2 ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 340:2013ISO 340:2013(E)5.3.2.2 Fo

38、duct specification requires the test to be conducted on conveyor belts which are by design intended to be used without covers, conduct only six tests on test pieces as described in 5.3.2.1.1 c) and d).5.3.3 Steel cord conveyor belts5.3.3.1 For tests on conveyor belts with covers intactIf the product

39、 specification requires the test to be conducted on conveyor belts with the covers intact, cut six test pieces in the longitudinal direction of the belt, each 200 mm 5 mm long, as close as possible to 25 mm wide depending on the cord diameter and pitch. Each test piece shall be at least 20 mm wide a

40、nd contain at least two cords, with the cut edges representing the centreline between adjacent cords.5.3.3.2 For tests on conveyor belts with covers removedIf the product specification requires the test to be conducted on conveyor belts without covers, cut six test pieces as described in 5.3.3.1 and
