plurality of cords of a high elastic modulus these cords may be made from glass fiber carbon fiber steel polyester nylon high tenacity rayon or preferably polyamide if the belt is to be used for automotive applications the tensile members are typically made using glass fibers the tooth surface 4 is reinforced with an abrasion resistance fabric 7 the illustrated teeth 5 are uniformly spaced apart in the longitudinal direction l by a pitch length p the pitch length extending from one tooth centerline to the adjacent tooth centerline the teeth 5 may extend obliquely to the longitudinal direction l when the teeth 5 are so inclined the oblique inclination angle of the teeth ranges from 15 u00b0 to 45 u00b0 the belt surface 4 may be defined by several adjacent rows of teeth 5 when the belt 1 is defined by plural rows of adjacent teeth 5 the centerlines of the transversely adjacent teeth may meet at the belt centerline forming a conventional v shaped or herringbone configuration alternatively the centerlines of the transversely adjacent inclined teeth 5 may be offset from each other by a portion of the pitch length as disclosed in u s pat no 5 209 705 the resistance of the belt 1 is defined by the following equation as defined by iso 9563 maximum ue89e ue89e resistance 6 u00d7 10 5 u00d7 length ue89e ue89e between ue89e ue89e electrodes width ue89e ue89e of ue89e ue89e the ue89e ue89e belt iso 9563 testing of belts requires contacts that should cover the top of three belt teeth and all of two.
