This recommended practice is intended as a guide to the use of radial lip type seals. It has been prepared from existing literature, which includes standards, specifications, and catalog data of both oil seal producers and users and includes generally-accepted information and data. The main reason for the preparation of the recommended practice is to make standard information available in one document to the users of oil seals.

This SAE Recommended Practice encompasses analytical procedures for measuring nonregulated diesel exhaust emissions. Methods are recommended for the measurement of aldehydes and carbonyl compounds, sulfates and the characterization of diesel exhaust particulates. Informational methods are presented for the measurement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in diesel exhaust particulate samples. The procedures are based on current proven chemical and engineering practices. However, it should be noted that the procedures are subject to change to keep pace with established experience and technology. The procedures are intended for use in the collection, analysis, and characterization of emissions from diesel engines. They are to be used as a guide in standardizing practices so that the results from various sources can be compared with some degree of accuracy. The specific purpose of each chemical method is presented at the beginning of each method section.

This SAE Information Report deals exclusively with the determination of sulfur compounds in automotive exhaust. Engine operating cycles and interpretation of results are not covered. Methods described in detail are those that have been or are being used by various laboratories. None are specifically recommended as superior to others. Since intensive measurement of automotive sulfur compounds is a relatively new activity, methods and practices have changed rapidly. Some methods are more experimental than others and are so noted in the test.

This SAE Recommended Practice has been developed to provide a uniform method for reporting the weight and dimensions of internal combustion engines. SAE J2038 is not intended to cover the technical interface between the engine and transmission. To locate the rear of the engine crankshaft in relationship to the rear of the flywheel housing, refer to SAE J617.

This SAE Recommended Practice has been developed to provide a uniform method for reporting the weight, dimensions, center of gravity, and moment of inertia of internal combustion engines. SAE J2038 is not intended to cover the technical interface between the engine and transmission. To locate the rear of the engine crankshaft in relationship to the rear of the flywheel housing, refer to SAE J617.

Because of the intense focus on CAFE and fuel emission standards, optimization of the automobile drivetrain is imperative. In light of this, component efficiencies have become an important factor in the drivetrain decision-making process. It has therefore become necessary to develop a universal standard to judge transmission efficiency. This SAE Recommended Practice specifies the dynamometer test procedure which maps a manual transmission’s efficiency. The document is separated into two parts. The first compares input and output torque throughout a specified input speed range in order to determine “in-gear” transmission efficiency. The second procedure measures parasitic losses experienced while in neutral at nominal idling speeds and also churning losses while in gear. The application of this document is intended for passenger car and light truck. All references to transmissions throughout this document include transaxles.

It is anticipated that this SAE Recommended Practice will be only one step in a comprehensive evaluation of the vehicle/transmission application. This document alone is not adequate “due care” to insure against high-speed seizure or other high-speed problems. The notes printed in bold print throughout the practice convey important information about the test itself or the results and should be considered carefully. All references to transmissions also apply to transaxles, except for the unbalance evaluation which applies only to rear-wheel-drive transmissions with propeller shaft output.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides information on procedures, tools, and fixtures useful in determining frictional torque measurement of radial lip oil seals. Information on the effect of various operational environments on oil seals are discussed and a means of calculation of power consumption of seals is provided.

This SAE Standard defines the normal dimensions, dimensioning practice, tolerances, specialized measurement techniques, and glossary of terms for bearing inserts commonly used in reciprocating machinery. The standard sizes cover a range which permits a designer to employ, in proper proportion, the durability and lubrication requirements of each application, while utilizing the forming and machining practices common in manufacture of sleeve type half bearings. Not included are considerations of hydrodynamic lubrication analysis or mechanical stress factors of associated machine structural parts which determine the nominal sizes to be used, selection of bearing material as related to load carrying capacity, and economics of manufacture. For information concerning materials, see SAE J459 and SAE J460. These suggested sizes provide guidelines which may result in minimal costs of tooling but do not necessarily represent items which can be ordered from stock.

This SAE Standard presents the standard sizes, important dimensions, specialized measurement techniques, and tolerances for split type bushings. Both SI and inch sizes are shown; their dimensions are not exact equivalents. New designs shall use SI units. Unless specifically stated as ±, all tolerances are total.
