This SAE Standard provides test procedures for air and air-over-hydraulic disc or drum brakes used for on-highway commercial vehicles over 4536 kg (10 000 lb) of GVWR. This recommended practice includes the pass/fail criteria of Standard No. 121.
Rationale
This revision of the SAE J2115 includes several enhancements and fine-tuning relative to the previous version. The main objectives for the revision were to bring it closer to the FMVSS 121 dynamometer test, focus on air brake systems, and to update the wear sections to reflect current industry practices for durability testing. This revision limits the scope to air-braked vehicle applications only. There are provisions for disc and drum brakes. The test conditions include parameters and response characteristics for the servo controller on the inertia-dynamometer. The test setup provides an alternate method for measuring drum or disc bulk temperature using a 9-thermocouple array. Wear sections reflect better current industry practice for assessing wear characteristics versus temperature. The wear sections include intermediate effectiveness evaluation at the corresponding temperature step as well as a baseline temperature of 100 °C. These effectiveness sections help assess any changes or trends on brake output as an effect of the material wear and the temperature history during previous sections. Temperature steps are better harmonized with International Standards for disc brakes. Lastly, Appendix A indicates the FMVSS 121 performance requirements during the different test sections for air brake systems used on different tractors, trailers or other commercial vehicle applications.
The Truck and Bus Foundation Brake Committee of the Truck and Bus Brake and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Steering Committee is responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving recommended practices, standards, and information reports relative to foundation brakes; including brake lining friction materials, manual and automatic brake adjusters and their interfacing as utilized on trucks, tractor-trailer combinations, and buses over 10,000 lbs (4500 Kg) GVWR designed primarily for highway use. The activities of this committee are to be directed so as to concentrate on heavy duty foundation brakes and their corresponding lining friction materials, and not, in any way to duplicate the efforts of any other SAE committee.
* 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.
