The purpose of this SAE Information Report is to define common industry terminology and nomenclature relative to thermal flow control valves and to describe common thermal flow control valve applications in automotive, highway truck, mobile construction equipment, and industrial applications. This document is primarily directed at internal combustion engine or electric powered applications and the downstream systems to which power is provided, such as transmissions, hydraulics, air compression, etc. The information contained herein does not constitute an SAE Standard.

This SAE Recommended Practice documents nomenclature in common use for various types of radiator and radiator core construction, as well as for various radiator-related accessories.

Three levels of fan structural analysis are included in this practice: a Initial Structural Integrity b In-vehicle Testing c Durability (Laboratory) Test Methods The Initial Structural Integrity section describes analytical and test methods used to predict potential resonance and, therefore, possible fatigue accumulation. The In-vehicle (or machine) section enumerates the general procedure used to conduct a fan strain gage test. Various considerations that may affect the outcome of strain gage data have been described for the user of this procedure to adapt/discard depending on the particular application. The Durability Test Methods section describes the detailed test procedures for a laboratory environment that may be used depending on type of fan, equipment availability, and end objective. The second and third levels build upon information derived from the previous level.

The following topics are included in this report: Section 2—References Section 3—Definitions Section 4—Material Selection Section 5—Production Considerations Section 6—Initial Structural Integrity Section 7—In-Vehicle Testing Section 8—Laboratory Testing The Material Selection section lists environmental factors and material properties which should be considered when determining appropriate fan material(s) for a given application. The Production Considerations section covers various aspects of machine selection, mold design, and process control. The Initial Structural Integrity section lists factors which should be considered in addition to those covered by the same section of SAE J1390. The In-Vehicle Testing section lists factors which should be considered in addition to those covered by the same section of SAE J1390.

This SAE Recommended Practice specifies requirements for pressure relief means and pressure relief rating identification for cooling systems of liquid-cooled engines to reduce the possibility of injuries during opening of the cooling system.

All materials classified as nylons share certain basic characteristics. However, even within the seemingly limited realm of glass fiber reinforced nylons, many levels and combinations of physical, thermal, and environmental resistance properties are available. These properties result from such factors as the following: 1 Type of nylon (6, 6/6, 6/10, 6/12, etc.) 2 Percentage (by weight) of glass fibers 3 Diameter and length of glass fibers 4 Wetting agent used to promote adhesion between resin and fibers (if present) 5 Heat stabilizer (if present) 6 Impact modifier (if present) 7 Pigmentation (if present) In order to select a material with appropriate characteristics, the prospective manufacturer and end user should investigate the proposed application thoroughly, and maintain open communication with the various material suppliers.
