Using of computer integrated system for static tests of pipe conveyer belts

Abstract

At the Technical university of Košice was developed and designed equipment for static tests of pipe conveyer belts. The article deals with using of new Computer Integrated System for the automatized measuring of strength in the conveyer belt of pipe conveyor. Measuring system, measuring process and form of record results and their interpretation are presented in this paper. Values from 24 pieces of strain gauges are recorded simultaneously. The valuation of measurements was performed by statistical characteristics, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, test for the Weibull distribution and test of casualness. We also created mathematical description from measured variations of compressive forces by using non-linear dependence.
