The non-destructive testing (NDT) of the conveyor belt has become a common practice throughout the world. The non-destructive testing of the steel-cord conveyor belts realised Langebrake.
A thermal damage of the conveyor belt can be investigated by means of the non-destructive methods based on the computed metro-tomography. The metro-tomography is a very progressive method, which is suitable for performing of the conveyor belt analysis.
In the work of Fedorko et al
there is applied the computed metro-tomography method for analysis of the conveyor belt damage after
impact of a sharp material. This method enables to investigate the thermal degradation process of the conveyor belt taking
into consideration also changes in the belt inner structure. Ákos
dealt with problems of exploration using optical measuring method in detail. Williams et al.
investigated the feasibility of using an array of non-invasive tomographic sensors around a moving conveyor belt carrying solid particulates.
