This SAE Standard establishes the procedures for the application of Tonne Kilometer Per Hour (TKPH) rating values for off-the-road tires; utilizing empirical data formula, it describes the procedure for evaluating and predicting off-the-road tire TKPH requirements as determined by a work cycle analysis.
Rationale:
Document SAE J1098 “Tonne Kilometer Per Hour Application” covers time tested procedures and applications. As such the methodology continues to be acceptable in its present form. Therefore, the document is being revised with no significant technical changes.
