I was given an unexpected response today by a vendor regarding ordinary 2 or 3 ply belt conveyor material (similiar to goodyear 220 or 330). They stated that the material actually shrinks at temperature. I am aware of some materials, especially on refractory applications that I have dealt with, when material shrinkage is actually the case and a problem. I was however, unable to confirm or deny this information today, and am looking to find the elongation rate for the material. I have been unable to locate it in any of my references. Any help would be appreciated.

The vendor must know the rate
of contraction. Why not ask him?
