SAE J2789_201008 Historical

This procedure provides methods to determine the appropriate inertia values for all passenger cars and light trucks up to 4540 kg of GVWR. For the same vehicle application and axle (front or rear), different tests sections or brake applications may use different inertia values to reflect the duty-cycle and loading conditions indicated on the specific test.

The purpose of this procedure is to provide a common methodology to calculate test inertia (wheel load and tire rolling radius). The use of common inertia values allows the comparison of test results from different inertia-dynamometers or different testing facilities. This makes the overall testing activities more cost-effective and repeatable. See more
