Notes:
Small-scale flame tests were conducted on samples of six different rubber conveyor belts with fabric skeletons for use in Japanese coal mines. Each sample was claimed to be ‘flame-resistant’ under the test condition prescribed in JIS K 6324-1977, but results show that there are problems in this kind of test. Every sample tested sustains flame continuously when the flame exposure time exceeds a certain value or ‘ignition time’. In addition, flame duration seems to depend on the flame-resistance of the fabric skeleton as well as on flame exposure time.
