Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice provides instructions and test
procedures for air braked vehicles including but not limited to
trucks, truck-tractors, trailers, dollies, and buses used on
highways but does not include off-highway vehicles.
Purpose
This document provides a method of determining the air reservoir
capacity of highway type vehicles using compressed air to actuate
or transmit actuation power to the foundation brakes. Air reservoir
capacity is the ability to provide adequate brake pressure after a
number of brake applications.
