This SAE Recommended Practices specifies a procedure for determining structural strength and fatigue life of disc-brake caliper assemblies which are satisfactory for vehicle usage. It is applicable to new caliper assemblies which are employed in passenger car and truck brake systems utilizing hydraulic brake fluids. Brake design and vehicle performance requirements are not included. Specification limits are left to the discretion of the responsible manufacturer.
This procedure was developed for base brake operation and does not consider some unusual effects of ABS (Anti-Lock-Brake System) or Traction Control systems which may have a significant effect on the caliper. Careful analysis of the particular type ABS and/or Traction Control should be made and additional tests may be required which are not included in this document.
Rationale
This Recommended Practice is being Stabilized because it represents caliper testing practices of the 1998 era and has not been materially revised since that time (just correction of typographical errors). The SAE Hydraulic Standards Committee does not plan to update this recommended practice, and instead has formed a Task Force that is currently working on SAE J2995 – Strength and Durability Testing for Automotive Hydraulic Brake Components to be based upon current technologies and to consider vehicle duty cycles. SAE J1713 should be stabilized since it may still be used as a reference.
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.
