SIST EN 13827:2004 is the Slovenian adoption of EN 13827:2003 from SIST. It specifies test methods for steel cord conveyor belts to measure the mean lateral displacement between steel cords and the vertical displacement of cords relative to a mean level, for belts described in prEN ISO 15236-1. It is intended for people who need a repeatable way to check cord positioning in manufacture, quality control, or incoming inspection.
What does SIST EN 13827:2004 specify?
SIST EN 13827:2004 covers two measurement methods for steel cord conveyor belts: one for cord pitch and supported belt width, and one for vertical cord displacement relative to a mean level. The document is organized into Scope, Normative references, Method A, Method B, Test report and Bibliography.
Method A is used to determine the spacing of cords across the belt width. Method B is used to assess how far individual cords sit above or below the average cord level.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 13827:2004?
Method A - cord pitch and supported belt width
SIST EN 13827:2004 requires a full-width test piece at least 50 mm long, with smooth cut edges that expose the cords clearly. This matters because the measurements depend on seeing the cord positions without edge damage or contamination.
The method uses simple measuring tools: a tape, an optical magnifier or a dial gauge micrometer, and a flat horizontal support. The standard notes that equivalent tools with the same or better precision may also be used, which gives laboratories some flexibility while keeping the same measurement quality.
The procedure determines the mean cord pitch (tm), the supported belt width (bt), and the deviation of individual pitches in a control section. In practice, this tells you whether the cords are evenly spaced across the belt and whether the belt width supported by the cords matches the expected construction.
Method B - vertical displacement of cords
SIST EN 13827:2004 allows Method B only on a belt with a uniform cover on at least one side, because that cover is used as the datum surface. This matters because the height measurements are only reliable if the reference surface is even.
The method first measures the mean cord height (hm) from a selected set of cords spread across the width, then checks any cords that appear higher or lower than that mean. The results are grouped into three severity bands, Dh1, Dh2 and Dh3, so the reader can see how many cords fall within small, medium or larger height deviations.
Test report
SIST EN 13827:2004 requires the test report to identify the belt, state the mean cord pitch, the deviation of supported belt width, the deviation of individual pitches, the Dh1, Dh2 and Dh3 percentages, and the test date. In practice, this gives a concise record that can be compared between lots, suppliers, or test laboratories.
What terms does SIST EN 13827:2004 use?
- Mean cord pitch (tm) - the average spacing of the steel cords across the belt width.
- Supported belt width (bt) - the belt width supported by the cords, used in the pitch calculation.
- Control section - a selected run of adjacent cords used to measure individual pitches in Method A.
- Mean cord height (hm) - the average height of selected cords relative to the bottom surface in Method B.
- Displaced cord - a cord that sits above or below the mean level enough to be counted against the Dh levels.
- Dh1, Dh2, Dh3 - the three height-deviation bands used to classify displaced cords by severity.
Who uses SIST EN 13827:2004?
SIST EN 13827:2004 is used by manufacturers of steel cord conveyor belts, testing laboratories, and quality managers who need to measure cord placement in a consistent way. It is also relevant for buyers and specifiers who need objective evidence about belt construction before acceptance or use.
The standard is focused on conveyor-belt production and inspection, especially where the position of steel cords affects product conformity to the intended belt design.
What changed in SIST EN 13827:2004 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 13827:2004 is identified as identical to EN 13827:2003.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 13827:2004?
SIST EN 13827:2004 refers to prEN ISO 15236-1, which provides the general-use steel cord conveyor belt context named in the scope. The normative references section itself states that no normative references apply.
What does the SIST EN 13827:2004 document contain?
SIST EN 13827:2004 contains two measurement procedures, each with apparatus requirements, test piece requirements and step-by-step instructions. Figures 1 to 4 illustrate how the measurements are taken, including cord pitch, supported belt width, control-section pitch measurements and cord height measurements.
The document also includes Table 1, which is used to sort height differences into the Dh1, Dh2 and Dh3 levels for reporting. The result is a practical test method for checking belt construction and documenting cord alignment in steel cord conveyor belts.
