✦ Synopsis

The theoretical bases for calculation of heat release rate during burning of conveyor belts in the fire-testing gallery has been presented. Taking as an example the results of measurements of oxygen, carbon dioxide and monoxide content in the products of combustion of conveyor belts during the testing of their flammability in the full-scale fire gallery, the possibility has been demonstrated for using the calculations of heat release rate in an assessment of conveyor belt flammability. The total quantity of heat released during the belt fire in the experimental gallery can provide the basis to develop a new method of testing as well as the criteria for assessment of fire resistance of the conveyor belts using oxygen consumption calorimetry.

A drum friction test was conducted on four different 'flame-resistant' and one 'non-flame-resistant' rubber conveyor belts with a fabric skeleton manufactured in Japan. These test results were compared with those obtained from the other flammability tests, i.e. a small-scale flame test, an oxygen in
