SAE JA1012 (“A Guide to the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Standard”) amplifies and clarifies each of the key criteria listed in SAE JA1011 (“Evaluation Criteria for RCM Processes”), and summarizes additional issues that must be addressed in order to apply RCM successfully.

An enormous economic loss, as well as a waste of natural resources, is incurred world-wide as a result of wear of components and tools. Any effort expended in an attempt to reduce this loss is indeed worthwhile. The purpose of this SAE Information Report is to present the current state of knowledge of abrasive wear. This report, therefore, covers wear, or the undesired removal of metal by mechanical action, caused by abrasive particles in contact with the surface. It does not concern metal-to-metal wear or wear in the presence of an abrasive free lubricant. Abrasive wear occurs when hard particles, such as rocks, sand, or fragments of certain hard metals, slide or roll under pressure across a surface. This action tends to cut grooves across the metal surface, much like a cutting tool. Abrasive wear is of considerable importance in any part moving in relation to an abrasive.

This SAE Recommended Practice defines conditions to which bonded assemblies can be exposed to simulate environmental aging. These recommendations are generally based on existing Original Equipment Manufacturer requirements at this time. (Environmental specifications used for this proposal were from General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.) The substrate type, dimension, and number are described by the standard for materials being tested and should include control specimens which receive no environmental aging.

This SAE Standard specifies the operating procedures for a controlled irradiance, air-cooled xenon-arc apparatus used for the accelerated exposure of various automotive exterior materials.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the exterior noise emitted by earthmoving machinery in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is in a stationary test condition. At six positions on a hemispherical surface, the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure levels are measured. The A-weighted sound power level of the machinery is calculated from the measured values.

This SAE Standard describes a method for measuring the weighted sound pressure levels at prescribed microphone positions in the proximity of a device or machine for outdoor use, in order to determine compliance with noise limits. The A-weighted sound power level of the source is calculated from the measured values.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted by earthmoving machinery at the operator's position in terms of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level while the machine is in a stationary test condition.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted to the environment by earthmoving machinery in terms of the A-weighted sound power level while the machine is working under dynamic test conditions.

This SAE Standard describes a method for determining the noise emitted by earthmoving machinery at the operator’s position in terms of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level while the machine is carrying out a simulated work cycle.

The purpose of this SAE Standard is to define test conditions, describe tests to be made, specify data to be obtained, show formulas and calculations, define terms, and establish a uniform method of reporting so that performance data obtained on various makes and models of tractors, tested in accordance with this document, will be comparable regardless of where the tests are made. Because of the availability of many tractor models and types that can be equipped with a variety of special or optional equipment, the scope of this document must be limited to obtaining and reporting only the most significant of widely used performance data. Tests performed to either the Standard Code as outlined in Section 5 or the Restricted Code as outlined in Section 6 will satisfy requirements of this Agricultural Tractor Test Code. This document is technically equivalent to the OECD Tractor Test Code C(87)53, Annex I and Annex II.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide a design, critical dimensions, performance requirements, and identification for gladhand-type air line couplers used to connect the brake systems of trucks, truck-tractors, and trailers when these vehicles are joined to operate as a combination unit.

The scope of this SAE Standard is the definition of the functional, environmental, and life cycle test requirements for electrically operated backup alarm devices primarily intended for use on off-road, self-propelled work machines as defined by SAE J1116 JUN86 (limited to categories of 1) construction, and 2) general purpose industrial).

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a uniform procedure for assuring the manufactured quality, installed utility, and service performance of certain automotive adaptive products, other than those provided by the OEM, intended to provide driving capability to persons with physical disabilities. These devices function as adaptive appliances to compensate for lost or reduced performance in the arms or legs or both, of the driver. Some of the devices are designed to transfer foot functions to the hands, hand functions to the feet, or functions from one side of the body to the other.

This SAE Standard covers the hardness, tensile strength, and microstructural requirements for gray iron sand mold castings used in automotive and allied industries. The chemical requirements for alloy gray iron automotive camshafts are included in the document under castings for special application with controlled composition and microstructure. Appendix A provides general information on application of gray iron in automotive castings and chemical composition to meet hardness, microstructural, and other properties needed for particular service conditions. Casting tensile strength estimates are provided in Appendix A for design reference.
