BS EN 1554:2012EN 1554:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The purpose of this European Standard is to provide a method of test that will assist conveyor belt user
17、s in assessing the degree of risk which can be anticipated from the hazard caused when a conveyor belt stalls and the driving mechanism of the conveying system continues to operate, causing localized heating of the conveyor belt through contact with the driving drum or other frictional heat source.
18、For recommendations concerning safety categories of conveyor belts, reference should be made to EN 12882 and EN 14973. This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010. BS EN 1554:2012EN 1554:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method of test to determine the prope
19、nsity of a conveyor belt to generate heat flame or glow when held stationary under a given tension, in surface contact around a rotating driven steel drum. Means of varying the belt tension are described. NOTE For certain belt types, due to their construction, it may not be possible to conduct this
20、test due to the inability of the belt to comply with the requirements of 6.2.3. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

23、 tubes for pressure purposes Technical delivery conditions Part 1: Unalloyed steel tubes with specified room temperatures properties 3 Principle A test piece of conveyor belt, suitably mounted and tensioned, is wrapped half way around a rotating steel drum, simulating a stalled belt. The test is con
24、tinued at specified tensions for a given time period, or until the belt breaks. The presence, or absence, of flame or glow is noted and reported and the maximum temperature of the drive drum is recorded. The test is conducted in still air or/and in moving air. 4 Apparatus A general arrangement of a
25、drum friction testing apparatus is shown in Figure 1. 4.1 Steel drum of external diameter (210 1) mm mounted on a horizontal axis and capable of being rotated under all load conditions at (200 5) rpm throughout the test. The outer shell of the drum is manufactured from tube complying with ISO 9329-1
26、 or ISO 9330-1. The drum shaft material is of grade 2 C 22 of EN 10083-1:2006. NOTE Experience has shown that motors of between 7,5 kW and 15 kW have proved suitable for maintaining these conditions, although for smaller motors a soft start may be necessary. Basic dimensions of the drum, shown in Fi
27、gure 2, are given in order to standardize its thermal characteristics. The variation in diameter along the length of the drum shall not exceed 1 mm. BS EN 1554:2012EN 1554:2012 (E) 6 Notwithstanding the dimensions and tolerances on drum diameter and shell thickness shown in Figure 2, the effect of w
28、ear down to a minimum shell thickness of 6 mm is permissible, but the overall diameter of the drum must not thereby become less than 209 mm. 4.2 Drum temperature recording device, comprising a mineral-insulated stainless steel sheathed thermocouple having a maximum outside diameter of 2 mm and compl
29、ying with EN 60584-1. The tip of the thermocouple is set not more than 0,5 mm below the surface of the drum, midway along its length. NOTE 1 More than one thermocouple may be fitted in order to provide back-up in the event of failure. NOTE 2 Take care to see that the effective cold junction temperat
30、ure is compensated for or alternatively, is measured, and the appropriate correction made. NOTE 3 The functioning of the rotating contacts should be checked periodically by observing that there is no change in the recorded temperature when the apparatus is run without a test piece.

33、 tensions specified in 6.2.3. 4.4 Air current, having a velocity of (2,0 0,1) m/s at a distance of 200 mm from the surface of the horizontal steel drum when the sample of belt is in position ready for a test. The air supplied to the apparatus shall be at normal ambient temperature, but tests shall n
34、ot be made in air at a temperature of less than 5 C. The air current shall be supplied from a pipe complying with DN 10 of ISO 65:1981 with 36 holes, each nominally 1,5 mm diameter at 10 mm pitch. The distance between the centre line of the perforated pipe and the steel drum is 600 mm as shown in Fi
35、gure 1. 4.5 Anemometer, positioned 200 mm from the surface of the drum on the same horizontal plane as the perforated pipe and capable of measuring the velocity of the air current to an accuracy of 5 %. The speed of the air current in the extractor system provided shall be the minimum required and j
36、ust sufficient to remove the fumes from the vicinity of the apparatus under the specified test conditions. 4.6 Emergency stop devices, complying with EN ISO 13850. 5 Test piece Cut each test piece from a position not less than 50 mm from the edges of the belt and not less than 100 mm from the end of
37、 the belt. Each test piece shall be 150 mm wide and not less than 750 mm long, from positions parallel to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt. NOTE The precise length of the test piece will be dependent upon the details of the tensioning system (4.3). See Figure 1. 6 Procedure 6.1 Genera
38、l SAFETY WARNING Before commencement of the test it should be verified that emergency stop devices (4.6) are functioning correctly and that all the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure the safety of the operatives conducting the test and that they are not exposed to fumes. Thoroughly clea
39、n the surface of the steel drum to remove all traces of rust or residual debris, using abrasive paper or cloth. Ensure that the temperature of the drum does not exceed 30C at the start of any test. 6.2 Procedure and test 6.2.1 Number of test pieces for Method A Select four test pieces in accordance
40、with Clause 5. 6.2.2 Number of test pieces for Method B Select four test pieces in accordance with Clause 5. BS EN 1554:2012EN 1554:2012 (E) 10 6.2.3 Method A - Tests in still air 6.2.3.1 General Conduct the procedures in 6.2.3.2 or 6.2.3.3, as specified in the product or safety specification. Condu
41、ct two tests with the carrying side of the belt in contact with the steel drum (4.1) and two tests with the reverse side of the belt in contact with the steel drum. 6.2.3.2 Method A1 - Test in still air with fixed end load Pass the test piece through an arc of 180 around the steel drum ensuring the
42、belt is in contact with the drum throughout the 180 . Ensure that one end is rigidly secured and the other end attached to the tensioning system as shown in Figure 1. Apply a force of 343 N. Rotate the drum at (200 5) rpm in a direction away from the rigidly secured end of the test piece (i.e. simil
43、ar to the forward direction of a conveyor drive). Maintain the force of 343 N for 60 min or until the test piece breaks. Record the maximum surface temperature of the drum during the test. Examine the test piece for any flame or glowing during and after the test. If after 60 min the belt is unbroken
44、, remove the belt from the drum and examine in subdued light the surface of the belt which has been in contact with the drum, for any sign of glow. 6.2.3.3 Method A2 - Test in still air with increasing end load Pass the test piece through an arc of 180 around the steel drum ensuring that the belt is
45、 in contact with the drum throughout the 180 . Ensure that one end is rigidly secured and the other end attached to the tensioning system as shown in Figure 1. Apply a force of 343 N. Rotate the drum at (200 5) rpm in a direction away from the rigidly secured end of the test piece (i.e. similar to t
46、he forward direction of a conveyor drive). Maintain the force of 343 N until the test piece breaks. If the test piece has not broken after 60 min on test, increase the force as follows whilst the drum is still rotating at (200 5) rpm: a) Increase the force by 343 N to 686 N for a further 30 min; b)
47、If the test piece has still not broken, increase the force by a further 343 N to 1029 N for a further 30 min, or until the test piece breaks; c) If the test piece has still not broken, increase the force by a further 343 N to 1372 N for a further 10 min, or until the test piece breaks; d) If the tes
48、t piece has still not broken, increase the force by a further 343 N to 1715 N, the test being continued at 1 715 N until a total time of 150 min has elapsed from commencement of the test, or until the test piece breaks. Record the maximum surface temperature of the drum during the test. Examine the
49、test piece for any flame or glowing during and after the test. If after 150 min the belt is unbroken, remove the belt from the drum and examine in subdued light the surface of the belt which has been in contact with the drum, for any sign of glow.
