Abstract
A woven conveyor belt splicing fabric of optimal strength, elongational and dimensional properties is produced by intermeshing relatively high tenacity and relatively high elastic modulus warp yarns (e.g., KEVLAR yarns) in a highly crimped one-by-one weave construction with nylon or other suitable filling yarns. The tenacity of the warp yarns provides high strength per unit fabric thickness while the crimp of the warp yarns provides a limited degree of initial stretchability of the fabric from a relaxed state sufficient to accommodate strain and deflective forces imposed on a conveyor belt splice during normal belt operation.
