Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a method of evaluating
the structural integrity of the entire brake system of all
passenger cars under extreme braking conditions.
Purpose-The main purpose of this document is to
evaluate the structural integrity of a vehicle's braking system.
However, other areas, such as the steering or suspension system,
may also be evaluated during the test, providing that the criteria
and procedure detailed in the following sections are not modified
in any way. For repeatability, it is recommended that a brake apply
device be utilized whenever possible, since it will eliminate the
variations in application times and efforts of different
operators.
