Wire conveyor belts are specified by four measurements:
- A – the number of spiral coils per foot of belt width
- B – the number of cross members (rods) per foot of belt length
- C – the diameter of the spiral coil wire
- D – the diameter of the cross-rod wire
A Roshan code such as R-16: 36-22-12 gives the belt type (R-16) followed by these values. Our balanced weave and rod reinforced pages list the standard combinations.
Measuring a belt you already use
Count spirals across one foot (305 mm) of width and rods along one foot of length, then measure both wire diameters with a micrometer. Add the overall width, length, edge type and the conveyor drawing, and we can match or improve the belt.
