EXPLANATORY

NOTE

This Indian Standard was first published

in 1954 as a tentative standard and was revised in
1959. The main modification
made in the revised standard related to the nominal widths of belts and
in the proceto the recognition
of two grades of belting in place of one. Certain minor improvements
dures for carrying out the tensile and elongation
tests were also made.
The values were given in
metric system, however,
the nominal widths were also given in inch sizes for the sake of easy
changeover.
The second revision of the specification
was taken to give all the requirements
in SI units and
to make suitable modifications
in the requirements,
brought to the notice of the Sectional Committee
in the intervening
period.
Also reference has been made to IS : 1721-1970 as far as the hair yarn is
concerned.
In order to obviate difficulties
in procuring
the right type of belts, it is recommended
that the purchaser shall give the particulars
mentioned in Appendix
B, when making an enquiry or
placing an order.
