Centigrade
|
°C
|
Celsius, also known as centigrade, is a metric scale and unit of measurement for temperature. As an SI derived unit, it is used by most countries in the world. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701–1744), who developed a similar temperature scale. The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval, a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty. Before being renamed to honour Anders Celsius in 1948, the unit was called centigrade, from the Latin centum, which means 100, and gradus, which means steps.

URL
|
url
|
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), colloquially termed a web address, is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), although many people use the two terms interchangeably. A URL implies the means to access an indicated resource and is denoted by a protocol or an access mechanism, which is not true of every URI. Thus http://www.example.com is a URL, while www.example.com is not. URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (http), but are also used for file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other applications.

Voltage
|
V
|
Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension (formally denoted ∆V or ∆U, but more often simply as V or U, for instance in the context of Ohm's or Kirchhoff's laws) is the difference in electric potential energy between two points per unit electric charge. The voltage between two points is equal to the work done per unit of charge against a static electric field to move the test charge between two points. This is measured in units of volts (a joule per coulomb).

|
Metre

The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1 / 299 792 458 seconds.

The joule (/dʒuːl/); symbol: J), is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units.[1] It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).[2][3][4]

PIW
|
piw
|
Piw means pounds per inch of belt width and is widely used in the United States of America. The piw figure is indicating the working tension a conveyor belt is intended to be used for, irrespective of the breaking strength of the splice. Usually, the belt’s breaking strength and the safety factor is not given. Outside of the USA, the breaking strength of the conveyor belt is used, rated in N/mm, i.e. Newton per millimeter of belt width. The belt breaking strength is determined precisely, depending on the operating conditions, the splice type etc. The safety factor is related to the weakest point of the conveyor belt, which is the splice. Without consideration of a safety factor, piw are converted into N/mm by multiplying by 0.175. Example: 2284 piw x 0.175 = 400 N/mm. N/mm converted into piw are multiplied by 5.71. Example: 400 N/mm x 5.71 = 2284 piw. If a safety factor of 10 is assumed for both terms, then a 400 piw belt would equal to a 700 N/mm belt. However, this is not academic. The above applies to textile conveyor belts. For steel cable conveyor belts, the rating in N/mm breaking strength is used in the USA, too. The test procedure can be different.
