This SAE Standard establishes the test conditions and reporting method for quantifying refrigerant circuit oil circulation rate (OCR) reduction effectiveness of mobile air conditioning compressors using R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerants that include oil separators and/or other design features for the purpose of reducing the OCR in the refrigerant circuit. This standard and the OCR values it produces are not intended to make judgement on suitability of OCR values with regard to compressor durability.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides test methods for determining the characteristics of acoustical and thermal materials. Where applicable, methods of test developed by SAE and ASTM have been referenced.

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 establishes loadings, tangential pull values, and inflation pressure relationships for tire sizes and ply ratings currently used on agricultural tractors. Primary purpose of this recommendation is for use with SAE J708 MAY59. The performance of the tractor is materially affected by tire loadings, tire tangential pull values, and inflation pressure; therefore, it becomes desirable to publish this information.

This practice provides procedures and methods for testing service, spring applied parking and combination brake actuators with respect to durability, function and environmental performance. A minimum of five test units designated A, B, C, D and E are to be used to perform all tests per paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2.

A minimum of five test units designated A, B, C, D, and E are to be used to perform all tests per 1.1 and 1.2.

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 following specifications cover minimum requirements for tubing or pipe used in automotive air brake systems. It covers corrosion precautions, installation, and material specifications.

This practice establishes uniform test procedures for air brake systems pneumatic valves with respect to:

The basic performance characteristics of greatest interest are airflow restriction or pressure drop, dust collection efficiency, dust capacity, and air cleaner structural integrity. This test code therefore addresses itself to the measurement of these parameters.

The air cleaner test code has been established to cover dry type and oil bath air cleaners used on internal combustion engines and to present a uniform method of determining and reporting air cleaner performance.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a ballistic tank test procedure for evaluating inflator assemblies used in inflatable restraint systems. It is intended to be a general procedure for repetitive testing and suggests only general guidelines for the safe conduct of tests and data correlation. Uniform test requirements, test procedures, and data recording requirements are specified. The intent of the document is to provide a procedure employing a ballistic tank test method for determining the ability of an inflator to meet requirements for deploying inflatable restraint systems. A ballistic tank test is described which will yield repeatable and comparable results for evaluating a given inflator configuration’s pressure output versus time. Use of the ballistic tank test for comparison of various inflator configurations may be of limited value due to differences in gas temperature and mass flow effects on airbag performance as it relates to occupant protection.

The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish reference standards for airflow measurements in the ranges required for testing automotive engine induction systems and to describe equipment that will facilitate the use of such standards to check the accuracy of various equipment and methods.
