Heavy Duty Truck and Bus Electrical Circuit Performance Requirement for 12/24-Volt Electric Starter Motors

2024-03-22

CURRENT

J3053_202403

The recommended practice describes a design standard that defines the maximum recommended voltage drop of the starting motor main circuits, as well as control system circuits, for 12/24-V starter systems. The battery technologies used in developing this document include the flooded lead acid, gel cell, and AGM. Starting systems supported by NiCd, Lithium Ion, NiZn, etc., or Ultracaps are not included in this document. This document is not intended to be updated or modified to include starter motors rated at voltages above the nominal 24-V electrical system. The starter is basically an electrical-to-mechanical power converter. If you double the available battery power in, you double the peak mechanical power out and double the heat losses. This means that we have to pay special attention to how battery power changes when we change the battery voltage and the effects it may have in overpowering the cranking system.

Nondestructive Inspection Program Requirements for Aerospace Systems

2023-06-02

CURRENT

AS6870A

This SAE Aerospace Standard defines the requirements for establishing a nondestructive inspection (NDI) program for aerospace systems to include but not limited to aircraft structure, aircraft stores (external structures such as antennas, pods, fuel tanks, weapons, radomes, etc.) and missile/rocket structural components when an NDI Program Plan is required by contract. NDI Programs are essential to ensuring NDI processes are implemented to support the lifecycle design requirements of the system and its components. NDI Programs are applicable to all phases of the system life cycle, including acquisition, modification, and sustainment. This standard may also be applicable to mechanical equipment, subsystems, and propulsion systems, but the requirements defined by the NDI Program Plan should be tailored by the contracting agency for such use.

APU Gas Turbine Engine Test Cell Correlation

2023-05-19

CURRENT

ARP5435A

This paper describes a recommended practice and procedure for the correlation of test cells that are used for the performance testing of APU (auxiliary power unit) engines. Test cell correlation is performed to determine the effect of any given test cell enclosure and equipment on the performance of an engine relative to the baseline performance of that engine. The baseline performance is generally determined at the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) designated test facility. Although no original equipment manufacturer (OEM) documents are actually referenced, the experience and knowledge of several OEMs contributed to the development of this document. Each engine Manufacturer has their own practices relating to correlation and they will be used by those OEMs for the purpose of establishing certified test facilities.

CURRENT

J2429_202305

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a test method for determination of heavy truck (Class VI, VII, and VIII) tire force and moment properties under cornering conditions. The properties are acquired as functions of normal force and slip angle using a sequence specified in this practice. At each normal force increment, the slip angle is continually ramped or stepped. The data are suitable for use in vehicle dynamics modeling, comparative evaluations for research and development purposes, and manufacturing quality control. This document is intended to be a general guideline for testing on an ideal machine. Users of this SAE Recommended Practice may modify the recommended protocols to satify the needs of specific use-cases, e.g., reducing the recommended number of test loads and/or pressures for benchmarking purposes. However, due care is necessary when modifying the protocols to maintain data integrity.
