Description / Abstract:
This SAE Standard is intended to establish uniform performance
criteria and methods of testing push to connect tube fittings, with
SAE J844 air brake tubing as used in vehicular air brake
systems.
The specific tests and performance criteria applicable to the
tubing are set forth in SAE J844. The test values contained in this
performance standard are for test purposes only. For environmental
and usage limitations, see SAE J844.
General Requirements
a. Test temperature shall use ±3 °C as the test tolerance
range.
b. Ambient temperature shall be 24 °C.
c. All test times are minimum times unless otherwise
specified.
d. Dry Air shall be a minimum of –50 °C dew point.
e. Tubing shall be cut square at 90 degrees ± 7 degrees.
f. Precondition all test specimens at 700 kPa ± 70 kPa for 30 s
without any leakage.
g. New specimens shall be used for all tests.
