Borate Ester Based Brake Fluids
- Ground Vehicle Standard

- Revised

Language:

Scope
This SAE standard covers motor vehicle brake fluids of the nonpetroleum type for use in the braking system of any motor vehicle such as a passenger car, truck, bus, or trailer. This standard covers different levels of performance properties compared to the SAE J1703 and J1705 documents on brake fluids. These fluids are not intended for use under arctic conditions or in braking systems requiring the use of mineral oil based hydraulic fluid.
These fluids are designed for use in braking systems fitted with rubber cups and seals made from styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), or a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, and a diene (EPDM).
Rationale
The source of the RM-3a has been changed. In conjunction of this change the SAE Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids Standards Committee harmonized the wording of the corrosion test between SAE J1703 and SAE J1704, i.e., some changes to the text of SAE J1704 Section 5.6.2 Corrosion Test on Brake Fluid with Water have been made.

Brake Fluids Standards Committee
The scope of the Brake Fluids Standards Committee is to develop and maintain relevant standards; recommended practices and information reports related to non-petroleum based brake fluids covering: The requirements of fluids for use in the hydraulic brake systems of motor vehicles; the handling, dispensing, and packaging of such fluids; service maintenance using such fluids. These documents are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that they reflect the changing needs and requirements of the industry.
Reference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
