Brake Force Distribution Performance Guide - Truck and Bus
J1854_202207
This SAE Recommended Practice establishes performance guidelines for the threshold pressure and brake force output of the brakes on the axles of air-braked towing trucks, truck-tractors, truck-trailers, and converter dollies with GVWRs over 4536 kg (10000 pounds) designed to be used on the highway in combination with other air-braked vehicles of this type in commercial operations.
Rationale:
This revision expands brake force output in 4.3 from 40 psi to 5 to 40 psi to better understand balance between drum and ADB systems. It also includes grammatical corrections.
