In a belt drive system a ratio is used to determine the speed relation between two v belt pulleys.
D section v belt dimensions.
Step 2 determine if the v belt is wrapped or notched style if the belt.
V belt cross sections can be identified by their top width and depth dimensions.

Classic banded v belts.
The inside length of the belt is typically 2 less for a 4l belt and 1 1 2 less for a 3l belt.
However as belt slip is inevitable the ratio varies and is therefore only theoretical.
Standard v belts are manufactured from a special formulated rubber and reinforced high strength polyester cords for uniformity strength.
The width ranges from 1 2 up to 1 1 2 and lengths from 16 up to 400.
High flexibility suitable for flat belt transmission.
For example a v belt with a top width of 21 32 and a depth of 7 16 is a b belt.
A ratio is a proportional factor between two similar objects of different sizes.
Also keep in mind belts do stretch and unfortunately there is no specific given value for how much a belt can stretche.
3l section 3 8 width x 7 32 depth.
You ll also need to measure the width and depth to determine which section v belt you have.
An example would be 4l460 which would be 46 long outside 44 inside.
