This document standardizes the design of connector blocks used for joining SAE J518-1/ISO 6162-1 (Code 61) flange heads with other SAE J518-1/ISO 6162-1 (Code 61) flange heads with straight, elbow, and tee geometries. The blocks specified in this document are designed to provide for very compact installations. As a result, the tap depths specified in this document do not conform to those specified in SAE J518-1/ISO 6162-1 to allow for a minimal bend radius in the elbow and tee configurations. This document specifies both inch and metric configurations
This document outlines general requirements for the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods for aerodynamic simulation of mass-produced cars and light-duty trucks. The document provides guidance for aerodynamic simulation with CFD methods to support current vehicle characterization, vehicle development, vehicle concept development and vehicle component development. The guidelines presented in the document include Navier-Stokes and Lattice-Boltzmann based solvers.
This recommended practice will define a reference high-level architecture for precise positioning system of passenger vehicles for V2X applications, with the goal of delivering submeter positioning accuracy performance as much as possible. The architecture will comprise GNSS (aka GPS) and IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) with the options for including other sensors, such as wheel encoders, camera, lidar, as well as maps. The positioning system is intended to estimate absolute position, course angle, and speed of the vehicle in a global coordinate system. This document will also offer implementation recommendations.
This recommended practice will specify the review, testing, and analysis steps for certifying the performance of precise positioning system of passenger vehicles. The goal of the certification is to validate that the positioning system delivers the level(s) of performance that it claims. The levels of performance may include position accuracy at different confidence levels and integrity metrics such as protection level, risk level, and alert limit.
This document describes the megawatt-level DC charging system requirements for couplers/inlets, cables, cooling, communication and interoperability. The intended application is for commercial vehicles with larger battery packs requiring higher charging rates for moderate dwell time. A simplified analog safety signaling approach is used for connection-detection to guarantee de-energized state for unmated couplers with superimposed high speed data for EVSE-EV charging control and other value added services.
This SAE information report is intended to provide design guidance in the selection of stainless steel tubing produced from SAE 304/304L stainless material as defined by SAE J3127, J3128, J3129, and J3135.
Where possible, this SAE Information Report (IR) provides current technical, real world data of automotive fluids in US market road vehicles. Any chemicals listed in safety data sheets (SDS) for automotive fluids were initially compared to at least three chemicals detected in stormwater. However, these three initial chemicals are also associated with multiple industrial & consumer activities, and possible other sources were noted & preliminary identified and/or investigated. The three initial chemicals identified are: • BPA, CAS 80-05-7 • Naphthalene, CAS 91-20-3 • Poloxalene (aka polyethylene-polypropylene glycol), CAS 9003-11-6 Based upon the development of this IR, a separate but concurrent research project was jointly proposed to provide technical data where possible, but not initiated at this time by SAE & the SAE TF using the SAE Cooperative Research Program (CRP).
