| As you browse through the
specific product pages of our website, you'll see examples of many of our
available mesh conveyor belts. These are signified by a series of
letters and numbers. Below you'll find examples of what the various
identifications mean.
When the specification appears
with 3 sets of numbers:
Belt designation example:
B - 36 - 10 - 12
-
B = Type
as described...in this case, Balanced Weave
-
36 = Number of wire loops
per foot of width
-
10 = Number of cross
rods per foot of length
-
12 = wire gauge of spirals
and rods
OR
When the specification appears
with 4 sets of numbers, the third set is the
wire gauge of cross rods.
Where the Belt designation
example is: DB - 36 - 10 - 12 - 14
-
DB = Type as described...in
this case, Double Balanced Weave
-
36 = Number of wire loops per
foot of width
-
10 = Number of cross rods per
foot of length
-
12 = wire gauge of cross rods
-
14 = wire gauge of spirals
To determine
the cross sectional area per foot, use this formula:
First set of numbers x
the wire gauge of spirals x 2 = cross sectional area per foot/width
Example: DB - 36
- 10 - 12 - 14
The cross sectional area
is 36 x .00503 (14ga) x 2 = .36216 square inches
