Measuring the belt elongation
8.4.3 Calculating the belt elongation
The belt elongation can be calculated in % with the determined measure of the belt elongation.
Formula for calculating the belt elongation in %
Calculating the belt elongation requires the following values:
• Belt width in mm (BW)
• Static force per mm belt width with 1 % elongation in N/mm (k1 %). (The value is recorded on the data sheet for
the belt or can be obtained from the belt supplier.)
