This SAE Recommended Practice was developed primarily for passenger car and truck application, but may be used in marine, industrial, and similar applications. It addresses Non-Metallic caps and both Metallic and Non-Metallic filler necks.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to engine coolant concentrate, propylene glycol base, for use in automotive and light truck engine cooling systems.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to engine coolant concentrate, low silicate ethylene glycol base, for use in cooling systems of heavy-duty engines. An initial charge of supplemental coolant additive (SCA) is required when using this type of coolant concentrate.

The technique outlined in this SAE Recommended Practice was developed as part of an overall program for determining and evaluating fuel consumption of heavy-duty trucks and buses, but it is applicable to off highway vehicles as well. It is recommended that the specific operating conditions be carefully reviewed on the basis of actual installation data. Cooling requirements are affected by all heat exchangers that are cooled by the fan drive system. These may include radiators, condensers, charge air coolers, oil coolers, and others. Because of the variation in size, shape, configuration, and mountings available in cooling fans and fan drive systems, specific test devices have not been included. Using known power/speed relationships for a given fan, this procedure can be used to calculate the fan drive system’s power consumption for engine cooling systems using fixed ratio, viscous or speed modulating, and mechanical on/off fan drives including electronically activated fan drives.

Three levels of fan structural analysis are included in this practice: 1. Initial Structural Integrity 2. In-vehicle Testing 3. Durability 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 that may be used depending on type of fan, equipment availability, and end objective. Each of the previous levels builds upon information derived from the previous level. Engineering judgment is required as to the applicability of each level to a different vehicle environment or a new fan design.
