Full title and description

St ISO 1813-2014 — Belt drives — V-ribbed belts, joined V-belts and V-belts including wide section belts and hexagonal belts — Electrical conductivity of antistatic belts: Characteristics and methods of test. This International Standard specifies maximum electrical resistance limits and the corresponding test methods for antistatic V-type belts intended for use where charge dissipation is required (for example explosive atmospheres or other fire-risk environments).

Abstract

ISO 1813:2014 defines characteristics and laboratory and production-control test methods to verify the electrical conductivity (maximum resistance) of antistatic endless V-ribbed belts, joined V-belts and single V-belts (including wide-section and hexagonal belts). The tests ensure that new belts are sufficiently conductive to dissipate electrostatic charge formed during service.

Scope

This standard applies to new antistatic V-ribbed belts, joined V-belts and single V-belts (including wide-section and hexagonal belts) intended for use where dissipation of electrostatic charge is important (for example potentially explosive atmospheres or other situations with a fire risk). It specifies maximum allowable electrical resistance values and both factory (production-control) and individual (proof) test procedures for measuring conductivity.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of antistatic belt types covered: endless V-ribbed belts, joined V-belts and single V-belts (wide section and hexagonal).
• Maximum electrical resistance limits (criteria that belts must meet to be classed antistatic for specified uses).
• Production-control test methods and acceptance criteria for factory testing.
• Individual proof (laboratory) test methods for verifying compliance on sample belts.
• Test conditions, measurement methods, and required test equipment (specified voltages, electrode arrangements and measurement procedures).

These technical requirements and test-method outlines are summarized from the standard's published content and catalog descriptions.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of V-type and multi-ribbed drive belts, quality and compliance engineers in belt and power-transmission industries, test laboratories performing electrical-resistance and antistatic verification, end-users of belt-driven equipment used in hazardous or fire-risk environments (mining, petrochemical plants, grain handling, etc.), and procurement/specification teams referencing safety and equipment standards.

Related standards

ISO 1813:2014 is part of the ISO family of belt-drive standards and was later updated by a subsequent edition (ISO 1813:2025). Other related ISO standards address belt dimensions, performance, testing of belt drives and safety in potentially explosive atmospheres; users should consult the ISO catalogue for related parts and technical committees (ISO/TC 41/SC 1).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: St ISO 1813-2014 (ISO 1813:2014) is an ISO International Standard that specifies characteristics and test methods for the electrical conductivity (maximum resistance) of antistatic V-type belts.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers test methods, maximum resistance limits, and production-control and individual proof procedures for antistatic endless V-ribbed belts, joined V-belts and single V-belts (including wide-section and hexagonal belts), intended for use where charge dissipation is critical.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Belt manufacturers, test laboratories, quality assurance and compliance teams, equipment specifiers, and end-users operating belt-driven equipment in hazardous or fire-risk environments.

Q: Is it current or superseded?
