This SAE Recommended Practice establishes minimum requirements for electric hourmeters for general vehicular applications.

Detailed in this SAE Recommended Practice are interior and exterior bright or electrolytically colored anodized aluminum automotive components in the form of seat trim, dashboard, window or side body mouldings, bumpers, wheels, rocker panel, etc.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines a procedure for determining the cleavage strength of an adhesive used for bonding automotive oily metal substrates.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a cross peel test method for use in measuring the bonding characteristics of automotive-type adhesives for joining fiber-reinforced plastics to themselves and to metals.

This SAE Recommended Practice covers recommended practices for design and evaluation of hose clamped joints primarily in automotive applications. It is intended to: (a) evaluate current joint designs, (b) compare existing designs, (c) aid in the development of new designs, (d) give objective results once weights are set, (e) rate the overall design and individual sections of design, and (f) encourage future research by industry and the OEM's.

Information that provides design guidance in avoiding fatigue failures is outlined in this SAE Information Report. Of necessity, this report is brief, but it does provide a basis for approaching complex fatigue problems. Information presented here can be used in preliminary design estimates of fatigue life, the selection of materials and the analysis of service load and/or strain data. The data presented are for the “low cycle” or strain-controlled methods for predicting fatigue behavior. Note that these methods may not be appropriate for materials with internal defects, such as cast irons, which exhibit different tension and compression stress-strain behavior.
