This part of EN 12881 describes three methods for measuring the propagation of a flame along a conveyor belt which has been exposed to a relatively high localised heat source such as a fire. The damage suffered by the conveyor belt, as well as its tendency to support combustion, are measured by observing the extent to which the fire spreads along the test piece.Method A uses a test piece 2 m in length and consumes propane gas through the burner at the rate of (1,30 ± 0,05) kg per 10 min.Method B uses a test piece 2,5 m in length and consumes propane gas through two burners mounted above and below the test piece trestle at the rate of (1,30 ± 0,05) kg per
