4 Test method
4.1 Test equipment
4.1.1 The performance indicators of the inertia brake testing machine shall meet the
requirements of various tests.
n0 - Initial test speed, r/min;
nt - Braking end speed, r/min;
Kr - Radius reducing scale ratio;
t - Braking time, s.
4.5.2 Adjust the test equipment, to make it in normal working condition.
4.5.3 The specimen shall be installed on the fixed end. The gap with the test pair shall
be adjusted to 0.4 mm ~ 0.6 mm. The test pair shall rotate during the test.
4.5.4 Before each test, the test inertia, brake speed, test specific pressure, brake
temperature shall be adjusted, according to different vehicle models. All test parameters
shall be input accurately.
4.5.5 The temperature of the friction surface is measured by a thermocouple, which is
welded with "Nickle-aluminum-nickel-chromium". The thermocouple must be inserted
along the effective radius of the specimen to a depth of 4 mm ~ 6 mm AND 0.5 mm
away from the friction surface.
5 Test procedure
5.1 First run-in
The first run-in requirements are as follows:
a) Take the driving speed (Va) of the vehicle as 50 km/h; calculate the initial test
speed (n0) according to formula (10);
b) Take the vehicle braking deceleration (a) as 3.0 m/s2; calculate the test specific
pressure (P0) according to formula (12);
c) During the run-in process, the initial temperature of each braking shall not exceed
100 °C;
d) The number of braking shall be such that the contacting area of ring specimen is
ground to reach above 90%, then stop run-in; however, the number of braking
shall be not less than 10.
e) Record the pressure, torque, temperature, rotational speed during braking.
5.2 First measurement
The first measurement requires the following:
a) Use a micrometer, which has a precision 0.01 mm, to measure and record the
thickness of the ring specimen and the marked three points of the test pair, to
calculate the volume wear. If the mass wear needs to be calculated, use a balance,
which has an accuracy of not less than 0.01 g, to measure and record the friction
pair mass;
b) The friction pair shall be measured after cooling to room temperature.

The requirements for the first friction torque test are as follows:
a) For drum brake lining ring specimens, the vehicle speeds (Va) are respectively 50
km/h, 70 km/h, 90 km/h; for disc brake pad ring specimens, the vehicle speeds
(Va) are respectively 80 km/h, 120 km/h, 160 km/h. Calculate the initial test speed
