Abstract
A salt belt for insertion into a centrifugal test rotor is provided which is used to hold and contain a plurality of test components during mechanical testing. The slat belt is a flat polymeric belt which adhesively affixes a plurality of L-shaped slat members to its upper surface. When the belt is laid flat, it accommodates the easy positioning of components into channels. As the belt is curled for insertion into the test rotor, the slats move closer to one another and clasp the components into channels formed by adjacent pairs of radially directed slat arms. Upon completion of the test run, the slat belt is removed from the rotor and unrolled whereby the components are easily removed from the belt.
