This is the location for inputting the default values pertaining to conveyor accessories.

•The drag associated with belt Cleaners and Plows.

•The drag associated with Skirtboards.

The skirtboard default value is set to 2/3 of the belt width. CEMA assumes a set lbf/ft of drag for a skirting section. This assumes a certain pressure and friction factor... but doesn't state what pressure or friction that is, only that the drag is 6 lbf/ft of skirting. This can be changed in the defaults if you have a different preference.
