17、 is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

22、type B1 standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The provisions of this European Standard may be supplemented or modified by a type C standard.The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard.NOTE For
23、 machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have been designed and built according to the provisions of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the provisions of this type B1 standard.The methods of test described in EN 12881-1 are inten
24、ded to provide an indication of the reaction of a conveyor belt to a fire situation. However, in doing so attention is drawn to the fact that in assessing the overall flammability characteristics of conveyor belting for specific installations, it is not sufficient to rely solely on any single method
25、 of test but consideration has also to be given to the individual site location.WARNING The tests described in EN 12881-1 can generate large amounts of smoke and heat. It is therefore essential to conduct the tests with caution, having due regard to health and safety considerations and to terminate
26、any test immediately if at any time it is considered advisable to do so. In this regard it is recommended that no test should be supervised by only one person.BS EN 12881-1:2014EN 12881-1:2014 (E)5 1 ScopeEN 12881-1 describes four methods for measuring the propagation of a flame along a conveyor bel
27、t which has been exposed to a relatively high localized heat source such as a fire. The damage suffered by the conveyor belt, as well as its tendency to support combustion, is measured by observing the extent to which the fire spreads along the test piece.Method A uses a test piece 2 m in length and
28、 consumes propane gas through the burner at the rate of (1,30 0,05) kg per 10 min.Method B uses a test piece 2,5 m in length and consumes propane gas through two burners mounted above and below the test piece trestle at the rate of (1,30 0,05) kg per 10 min for each burner.Method C uses a test piece
29、 1,5 m in length and consumes propane gas through the burner at the rate of (565 10) g per 50 min.Method D uses a test piece 1,2 m in length and consumes propane gas through the burner at the rate of 150 l/hr (D1) or 190 l/hr (D2).2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, a

34、 that the correct mass of gas is consumed.Before and during the test, immerse each gas cylinder to approximately two-thirds of its height in a bath of water at a temperature of (25 3) C. Ensure that each gas cylinder is not emptied at the end of a test by more than 90 % of its gas mass capacity.BS E
