Won't the fundamental frequency depend considerably on belt length, width, and composition? Or is this test always applied to similar size belts?

Edit: Haha, cool the Gates guide you linked to has a page about using a sonic meter and computing tension force from belt width, weight, etc. Neat I imagine you took this into account. The formula's really not so bad.
