Wheel Radial Impact Test Procedure for Passenger Cars
J3203_202301
This SAE Recommended Practice defines the test stand and procedure for evaluating radial impacts of all wheels intended for passenger cars and light trucks. A minimum performance requirement is intentionally not provided. The intent is to establish a uniform method and test stand for imparting damage and evaluating radial impacts. A minimum performance requirement will be a proposed change when users determine what is of most value.
Rationale:
A laboratory test is provided to simulate the impact imparted to a tire and wheel assembly from a pothole and or above the road surface road hazard.
