• Page 552 - In Figure 12.95, Replace: 'Vs=Tangential Velocity, fps, of the cross-sectional area center
of gravity of the load shape' with: “Vs=Velocity of the load cross section used for plotting the trajectory”
• Page 559 - In Figure 12.109, Greek letters are incorrect, there is a font error for “phi” describing the
angle of incline of the conveyor. It is showing the 'capital phi' not in lower case as it should be. (ϕ should be φ (2 places) and γ should be ϒ (1 place)).
• Page 560 - In the paragraph between Equation 12.111 and Equation 12.112; the reference to Table 4.4,
should read “Table 4.6”. - In the Figure 12.110, this should read: Vs = Velocity of the load cross section used for plotting
the trajectory: 1. Belt velocity, V, is used as the velocity of the material at its center of mass if the
discharge point is at the tangency of the belt-to-discharge pulley (Vs = V) 2. Velocity of the material at its center of mass, Vcg, is used as the velocity of the material
for all other conditions of discharge after the point of belt-to-discharge pulley tangency. (Vs= Vcg)
APPENDIX B • Page 780
- Change definition of Vs to be consistent with changes in Chapter 12 – Trajectories. Vcg also added

BELT TENSION AND POWER ENGINEERING 6There are no generally available tabulated indentation values for various belt constructions for either the small or large sample methods. CEMA does not endorse any particular method so long as it accurately predicts the indentation resistance on a single idler for different temperatures and loads and can be used to determine Tbin for speci c belt constructions being considered in the conveyor design.
ndentation loss is usually a ma or factor on long overland conveyors. The magnitude of the indentation loss for short hori ontal or inclined conveyors is usually not a signi cant loss component in the total tension requirement. While the indentation qualities of the belt covers are an important consideration for energy consumption, it is important to balance other requirements for the cover design such as abrasion resistance or ame retardancy hen considering rubber compounds including a lo rolling resistance (LRR) conveyor belt cover.

Two methods for KbiR are provided for the small sample (Kbir-S) and large sample (Kbir-L) methods. To arrive at Tbin it is necessary to adjust for the uneven loading ( igure . ) on the rollers to arrive at an average pressure between the belt and roller.

Small Sample Indentation Loss Method Rubber indentation energy loss aries ith the idler roll s indentation into the belt o er thi ness and with the nominal deformation work as affected by the idler roll radius and the normal load. Just as important is the degree to which the rubber reacts elastically to return the energy of deformation to the system. This is affected by the rubber composition, the amount of deformation or strain, the rubber temperature and, to a lesser degree, the belt speed. The rubber composition is a design variable through the viscoelastic concepts of Storage Modulus and Loss Modulus with their ratio, known as tan delta, as an index of the rubbers loss characteristic. These properties are best obtained from harmonic testing and vary with frequency, temperature and strain, paralleling the idler indentation of interest. The loss may be then considered to be the area within the steady cycles of stress and strain along the transient path of the indentation.
The contribution of the rubber material is incorporated into the indentation prediction with KbiR-S. n effect, it sets the width of the ellipse in igure . . or a particular rubber, the applicable value varies with the temperature, belt speed and loading.

From Table 6.47 for Default Rubber: C1=17.45185, C2 =177.2557, T0 = -3.024038
From Table 6.48 for Default Rubber:
wref = 3200: c1= 19.795824, c2= -7.047877, c3= 0.795608, c4= 0.00313, c5= 24.954568, c6= -8.979528

Since the value wiW is not in Table 6.48, the P-Constants must be interpolated:
Interpolation Factor =5303 - 3200
8318.75 - 3200= 0.4095 use 0.411
c1 = 19.795824 + 26.085887 - 19.795824( ) 0.411 = 22.38
Similarly: c2 = -7.69, c3= 0.792, c4= 0.00225, c5= 28.33, c6= -9.8
P = c1+ c2 (xP) + c3 (xP
2 ) + c4 (xP3 )
c5+ c6 (xP) + xP2 =
22.38 - 7.69 (1.14) + 0.792 (1.14)2+ 0.00225 (1.14)3
