Requires accumulation, transportation to static scales, and static weighing of the test load material. Chain test Roller Test Chains Advantages 1. Simulates some conveyor belt effects. Acceptable simulated test. Chains do not provide a traceable conveyor scale calibration standard.
Heavy chains are difficult to handle.
Conveyor belt must be stopped to apply and remove test chains. Linearity test requires several chains. Chains are costly. Test weights Static Test Weights Advantages 1. Simulates some conveyor belt effects.
