This Recommended Practice is derived from OEM and tier-1 laboratory tests and applies to two-axle multipurpose passenger vehicles, or trucks with a GVWR above 4536 kg (10 000 pounds) equipped with hydraulic disc or drum service brakes. Before conducting testing for a specific brake sizes or under specific test conditions, review, agree upon, and document with the test requestor any deviations from the test procedure. Also, the applicable criteria for the final test results and wear rates deemed as significantly different require definition, assessment, and proper documentation; especially as this will determine whether or not Method B testing is needed.
This Recommended Practice does not evaluate or quantify other brake system characteristics such as performance, noise, judder, ABS performance, or braking under extreme temperatures or speeds. Minimum performance requirements are not part of this recommended practice. Consistency and margin of pass/fail of the minimum requirements related to wear rates and wear behavior can be assessed as part of the project in coordination with the test requestor.
NOTE: This Recommended Practice uses the unit conversion and rounding techniques from the NIST Special Publication 811. This to ensure the use of standard conversion factors and to determine the appropriate number of significant digits to ensure the Rounding Error (RE) of the converted unit is smaller than or similar to the RE of the original English or Imperial unit.
Rationale
Certain vehicle applications (like flat-bed recovery vehicles) have driving patterns which are considered light-duty with (a) friction material temperatures remaining under 232.0 °C (450 °F) 2.03 to 2.54 mm (0.08 to 0.1 inch) below the braking surface for at least 90% of the time, and (b) brake applications which require 2690 kPa (390 lbf/in2) or less of hydraulic pressure. This Recommended Practice provides two inertia-dynamometer test procedures, which are repeatable and cost-effective to assess, screen, benchmark, troubleshoot, or fingerprint a given foundation brake regarding low-duty brake wear. The first procedure (or Method A) is a wear versus temperature test from 93.0 to 427.0 °C (200 to 800 °F) to determine if there are potential wear rate issues under low temperature conditions and a low-duty driving cycle. If deemed required after the initial wear versus temperature test (Method A), or upon direct customer request, the second procedure (or Method B) provides an extensive wear test at a constant temperature of 79.0 °C (175 °F) to determine the wear rates and behavior of the friction couple. Data from this Recommended Practice may be combined with other brake system and vehicle characteristics for a comprehensive product characterization program.
Since other wear test procedures cover a different (higher) range of operating temperatures, kinetic energies, and levels, the accelerated wear rate behavior of certain friction materials under low-duty regimes is not properly determined or estimated using test conditions which can affect the transfer layer behavior. The wear test method implemented in this Recommended Practice was derived from prior field testing and correlation investigation. Hence, careful attention was given to not alter the sequence and test conditions which have demonstrated correspondence to the vehicle behavior.
The SAE Truck and Bus Hydraulic Brake Committee considers laboratory test procedures useful in supporting harmonization to improve the overall performance, durability, and safety of motor vehicle braking systems using relevant and cost-effective protocols.
The Truck and Bus Hydraulic 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 related to brake systems on hydraulically braked trucks and buses over 10,000 lbs (4500 Kg) GVWR designed for on-highway use. The responsibility of this committee will include the following related aspects of hydraulically braked vehicles with due care given to coordinate with and avoid duplicating efforts of the other committees: Braking performance - system components performance (to include but not limited to actuation systems, foundation brake, park brake, electronically controlled brake systems and anti-lock brake systems)

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

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.
