SAE J160_201302

SAE J160 – Swell Growth and Dimensional Stability of Friction Materials and Noise Insulators when Exposed to Elevated Temperatures

This performance standard specifies a universal method of measuring the dimensional change of friction materials to determine the effects of temperature. The test applies to both disc and drum type linings commonly used in hydraulic and air brake systems for automotive and commercial vehicle applications.

This standard describes two main test procedures. Method A where the friction material is in contact with a heated surface to simulate the heat input to the pad that occurs during actual usage. Method B uses an oven to heat the freestanding material and is na approximate procedure requiring less instrumentaiton. Method A is recommended for disc brake pad assemblies noise insulators or flat coupons; while Method B is recommended for curved drum brake linings.
