- Content
- This SAE Standard covers motor vehicle brake fluids of the nonpetroleum type, based upon glycols, glycol ethers, and borates of glycol ethers, and appropriate inhibitors for use in the braking system of any motor vehicle, such as a passenger car, truck, bus, or trailer. These fluids are not intended for use under arctic conditions. 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).
- Content
- This document has been revised to include the new reference fluid RM-66-07 and new EPDM rubber RM-69-02. Reinstated 5.11.2, Effect on rubber for EPDM. Added Appendix G for low-temperature freezer use. Revised gas chromatographic analysis method for RM-71. A new test is introduced for determining a fluid’s resistance to friction-induced noise based on DIN 51834-5 using a tribometer.
