Scope
Content
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 SAE 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
Content
From January 1, 2007 onwards, SAE International has discontinued the supply of referee materials (RM). Equivalent materials to the RM materials referred to in this standard are obtainable from sources other than SAE International. References to SAE International providing such RMs are removed from this standard. RM designations/numbers have been left in tact in this standard for reference purposes.
