GOST R 57032-2016 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 57032-2016 — "Ленты конвейерные резинотканевые для угольных шахт. Технические условия" / "Conveyor belts with textile plies for coal mining. Specifications". The standard defines technical requirements, constructional types and conditions of use for rubber–textile conveyor belts intended for coal‑mining applications (underground and surface installations).

Abstract

This national Russian standard specifies design variants (rubber‑textile carcass with or without a breaker ply), intended operating conditions, dimensional and mechanical requirements, test methods and marking for conveyor belts used in coal mines. It is intended to ensure safe, reliable and long‑lasting belt operation under the temperature, humidity and support‑geometry conditions typical for mining installations.

General information

• Status: Active / In force (introduced 01 July 2017).
• Publication date: Approved 31 August 2016; entry into force 1 July 2017 (designation year 2016).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology (Rosstandart); developed by industry institutes and manufacturers (e.g., NIIEMI, Kurskrezinotekhnika).
• ICS / categories: OKС / ICS: 53.040.20 (lifting and conveying equipment; conveyor belts).
• Edition / version: Edition designated 2016 (ГОСТ Р 57032-2016).
• Number of pages: Publisher listings vary (commonly 32 to 38 pages depending on the publication format).

Scope

The standard applies to rubber‑textile conveyor belts of type ШТС (ТГ) intended for belt conveyors with flat and troughed roller supports (side roller angles up to 35°) installed in underground workings with inclinations from −16° to +18° and on mine surfaces. It covers belts having a layered textile traction carcass and external rubber covers with flat surfaces, with or without a single protective (breaker) ply, designed for ambient temperatures from −25 °C to +60 °C and relative humidity up to 98%. The standard excludes belts with carcass and covers made of other materials.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of belt types and marking (designation ШТС / ТГ and constructional variants).
• Permitted installation geometries: flat and troughed roller supports; side roller angles up to 35°; working inclinations −16° to +18°.
• Operational environment: temperature range −25 °C to +60 °C and humidity up to 98%.
• Constructional requirements: layered textile traction carcass, external rubber covers, optional single breaker (protective) ply.
• Mechanical and dimensional requirements (tensile strength, elongation, thickness tolerances, adhesion between plies).
• Type and frequency of tests: routine and type tests including mechanical tests, dimensional checks and tests for cover behavior; references to applicable safety and test standards.
• Marking, packaging, storage and acceptance rules for supplied belts.

Typical use and users

Main users are mining companies (coal mines), belt‑manufacturers and suppliers, equipment specifiers, maintenance engineers and conformity assessment bodies. The standard is used to specify procurement requirements, to design and select belts for underground and surface coal conveyors and to verify compliance during manufacture and incoming inspection.

Related standards

The standard references and aligns with various national and international documents dealing with safety, test methods and rubber/textile materials — examples include GOSTs and ISO standards cited in normative references (e.g., safety standards for workplace environment and specific test methods for rubber and conveyor components). Related GOSTs commonly referenced in the document include standards from the 12.x (safety), 263/270 (test methods) families and other conveyor/rubber product standards.
