Re: How To Find Out - Wear Or Heat Resistant?
Surely. Just chop a sample off & send it to a manufacturer for his verdict. It might cost you: but then you'll know.
On second thoughts; how long is the bit of belt? It used to be normal to stamp the identifier at regular intervals along the belt.

Wear Vs. Heat
This may seem like a very simple approach, but most heat res. belting will have a very unique odor. EPDM based heat res. belt will emit that unique odor. Again, you can look for a roll number or branding in the belt that may or may not identify exactly what the belt compound is.

What is the type of material in the belt - nylon or polyester? ■
Heat Vs Wear
The carcass substrate is irrelevant in determination of the the characteristics of the rubber compound. ■

How to find out - Wear or Heat Resistant?
Dear all,
I have got an unused belt with out any identification marks or any purchase history.
Will it be possible to find out that will this belt be suitable for M24 ( Wear resistant ) or heat resistant application?
Thanks & Regards, ■
