Conveyor Belt Standards
Conveyor belt standards address the most publically recognizable type of conveyor. Due to the plentiful amount of variability in the design, manufacturing, and structural composition of conveyor belts, standards exist to guide uniformity in terminology, safety codes, sampling, performance and dimensional characteristics, the test methods used to determine those characteristics, markings used as indicators, and so on. Like the conveyor belts themselves, conveyer belt standards smoothly move things along.
