摘要:
An apparatus (100, 200, 300) and a method for measuring residual torsions of an elongated structure (202) such as a steel cord use a pivot head (102). The pivot head (102) comprises a wheel (104) adapted to guide an elongated structure (202). The wheel (104) is mounted in the pivot head (102) to transmit torques exercised by the elongated structure (202) on the wheel (104) to the pivot head (102). The pivot head (102) is mounted along a pivotal axis (110). This pivotal axis (110) lies in a plane of the wheel (104) and comprises the centre of the wheel (104). Sensor means (116, 206) measure the torque on the pivot head (102). The pivotal movement of the pivot head (102) around the pivotal axis (110) is limited to an angle range of ±5°, preferably ±3° in order to reach an improved accuracy of the torque measurement.
摘要:
A steel cord having a plurality of strands twisted together with a cord twist pitch. Each strand having a plurality of filaments twisted together with a strand twist pitch. The elongation at break of the steel cord is no less than 5%. The strand having a strand twist angle. The steel cord having a cord twist angle. When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 20 and 29 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 2.0%. When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 30 and 38 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 2.5%. When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 39 and 48 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 3.0%.
摘要:
A copper alloy coated bead wire is coated with a resin coating comprising corrosion inhibiting reagent to promote corrosion resistance and bead/rubber adhesion retention. The thin and continuous resin coating comprising corrosion inhibiting reagent is formed by applying a solvent containing both corrosion inhibiting reagent and resin on the copper alloy coated the bead wire. The thin and continuous resin coating comprising corrosion inhibiting reagent achieves synergetic effect. On one hand, the thin resin coating comprising corrosion inhibiting reagent allows a sulfur/copper bond to be formed between bead wire and the adjacent rubber. On the other hand, the continuous resin coating comprising corrosion inhibiting reagent facilitates corrosion resistance.
