Issued RATIONALE
This SAE Recommended Practice provides minimum performance requirements and uniform laboratory procedures for fatigue testing of wheels and demountable rims intended for normal highway use on trucks, buses, truck-trailers, and multipurpose vehicles. During the 5 year review we found that dimensions for the wheel test adapter (wheel backup diameter) were missing from the document. SAE J694 was added to the document list. A note was also added to the procedure sections to go to SAE J694 for test adapter dimensions (wheel backup diameter). Appendix B was updated to include current production tires and their slr (static loaded radii). 1. SCOPE
This SAE Recommended Practice provides minimum performance requirements and uniform laboratory procedures for fatigue testing of wheels and demountable rims intended for normal highway use on trucks, buses, truck-trailers, and multipurpose vehicles. For other wheels intended for normal highway use and temporary use on passenger cars, light trucks, and multipurpose vehicles, see SAE J328. For wheels used on trailers drawn by passenger cars, light trucks, or multipurpose vehicles, see SAE J1204. For bolt together military wheels, see SAE J1992. This document does not cover other special application wheels and rims. 2. REFERENCES 2.1

3.1 Equipment
Use a test machine that:
a. Imparts a constant rotating bending moment to the wheel. See Figure 1A or 1B.
b. Maintains the test load within ±3%.
c. Monitors and measures the deflection of the system.
d. Has a rigid load arm shaft.
3.2 Procedure
a. Use a test adapter, studs, and nuts representative of those specified for the wheel. Dimensions for the test adapter
(Wheel backup diameter) can be found in SAE J694.
b. Verify the mating surfaces of the adapter are free of foreign material or excessive wear.
c. Attach the wheel to a rigid load arm shaft and test adapter.
d. Tighten the nuts to the torque specified in Appendix A for the stud size and type of nut. Torque shall be checked and
reset periodically during the course of a test in order to compensate for the "wearing in" of mating surfaces.
e. Clamp the rim securely to the test device.
f. Adjust the system so that shaft runout is not more than 0.25 mm (0.010 in) total indicator reading at the point of
loading.

Test Loading
a. Test Load and Bending Moment Determination The test load is determined by Equation 1:
ø÷Þï±®ßïÚ·¹«®»-»»¿®³
Ó±³»²¬Ó
Ô±¿¼Ì»-¬ã
(Eq. 1)
M is determined by Equation 2:
÷ÍÃø¼÷-´®ø«÷ÅÔøÓõã
(Eq. 2)
where:
M = Bending moment, N-m (lbf-in)
u = Coefficient of friction developed between tire and road, use 0.7 for u. slr = L argest static loaded radius of the tires to be used on the wheel as specified by the current Tire and Rim
Association Yearbook or the vehicle/wheel manufacturer, mm x 10 3 (in). Use the values of slr found in Appendix B.
d = Inset or outset, mm x 10 3
(in). (Positive for inset, negative for outset) of the wheel. If wheel may be used as
inset or outset, use inset. See SAE J393. S = Accelerated test factor. See Table 1.
L = Load rating of the wheel as specified by the wheel manufacturer, N (lbf). b. For minimum cycle life, see Table 1.
c. Apply the test load parallel to a plane through the center of the rim as shown in Figure 1A or 1B. Load may push
against shaft or pull the shaft. 3.4
Test Wheels
Use only fully processed new wheels, which are representative of wheels intended for the vehicle and ready for road use. New wheels/rims and new related components of multi-piece rims will be used for each test. 3.5
Test Criteria/Test Termination
The wheel under test must complete the minimum number of test cycles prior to test termination. The test shall be terminated by the inability of the wheel to sustain load and/or a visually detected fatigue crack penetrating through a section. Broken studs or other parts of the test fixture do not require test termination but may result in damage to the wheel and test invalidation.
4. DYNAMIC RADIAL FATIGUE TEST, DISC WHEELS, AND DEMOUNTABLE RIMS
The test wheels, when subject to the following test procedures, shall meet the minimum performance requirement specified in Table 2. 4.1
Equipment
Use a test machine that:
a. Has a driven rotatable drum, which presents a smooth surface wider than the loaded test tire section width.
b. Has a suggested drum diameter of 1707.06 mm (67.23 in), giving 187.5 revolutions per kilometer (300 revolutions per
mile).c. Imparts a constant load to the wheel. This load must be perpendicular to the surface of the drum and in line radially
with the center of the test wheel and the center of the drum.

1. Offset for demountable rims.
4.2 Procedure
a. Select test tires that are representative of the maximum size and type approved by the vehicle or wheel manufacturer
for the wheel under test.
b. Use a test adapter, studs, and nuts (and clamps for demountable rims) that are representative of those specified for
the wheel/rim. Dimensions for the test adapter (Wheel backup diameter) can be found in SAE J694.
c. Mount and inflate the tire to 448 kPa ± 14 kPa (65 psi ± 2 psi) for tires with usage pressure of 310 kPa (45 psi) or
less. For wheels and tires intended for use at higher pressures, use 1.2 times the usage pressure, but not less than 448 kPa ± 14 kPa (65 psi ± 2 psi).
d. Tighten the nuts to the torque specified in Appendix A for the stud size and type of nut. Torque shall be checked and
reset periodically during the course of a test in order to compensate for the "wearing in" of mating surfaces.
e. There may be an increase in inflation pressure during the test. This is normal, but it is permissible to adjust back to
the test pressure.
4.3 Radial Test Loading
a. Radial Load Determination The radial load is determined as follows in Equation 3:

R = Radial load, N (lbf)
S = Accelerated test factor. See Table 2.
L = Load rating of the wheel/rim as specified by the wheel/rim manufacturer, N (lbf)
b. For minimum cycle life, see Table 2.
4.4 Test Wheels
Use only fully processed new wheels/rims which are representative of wheels/rims intended for the vehicle and ready for road use. New wheels/rims and new related components of multi-piece rims will be used for each test.
4.5 Test Criteria/Test Termination
The wheel under test must complete the minimum number of test cycles prior to test termination. The test shall be terminated by the inability of the wheel to sustain load and/or a visually detected fatigue crack penetrating through a section. Failure of the test tire, broken studs, or other parts of the test fixture do not require test termination but may result in damage to the wheel and test invalidation.
