The SAE Recommended Practice specifies a standardize method and test procedure to measure low pressure differential (< 1bar) brake component brake fluid flow performance. The standard can be utilized for flow measurements across hydraulic brake components such as master cylinders, apply system to chassis controls piping, or other sources of flow restriction in the low pressure side of the hydraulic brake system. It covers materials, manufacturing processes, and general properties required to meet the wide range of service encountered in automotive application. This specification covers only low pressure differential fluid flow and does not include measurement recommended practice for High Pressure differential (> 1 bar) flows.
Rationale
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide a standardized set of test conditions, methodology, data processing, and reporting for the measurement of fluid flows across brake hydraulic components. This recommended practice addresses these topics for the low pressure differential regime (defined as below 1 bar pressure differential, as typical on the feed side of a hydraulic pump).
Below are noted key points in the rationale used by the founding task force to set the parameters in this recommended practice:
Every effort was made to give the user flexibility to define the test specimen (as a component or subsystem comprised of multiple components) according to the measurement needs, but provide enough structure to ensure repeatable measurements from lab to lab. It is critical that a clear definition of the test specimen be determined before the test and documented with the test results.
Develop, improve, upgrade and/or maintain uniform and comprehensive standards, recommended practices, information reports and/or requirements that represent and permit uniform testing for hydraulic brake actuation components and systems. They should enhance development, evaluation, and optimization with accelerated testing methods that will provide needed products which maximize safety. They shall provide cost-effective components with essential quality, performance, and longevity for brake and interrelated system operation that will encompass the global automotive brake industry.
* 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.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
