    Motor Vehicles Wheels - Impact Test Procedure: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabian Standards Organization

    Permeshwara Nand Bhatt
    This document outlines standards for testing the impact resistance of vehicle wheels in Saudi Arabia. It establishes procedures for evaluating wheels using a machine that applies an impact load to the rim flange. A wheel is mounted at a 13 degree angle and struck by a tester weighing 0.6 times the wheel's maximum load plus 180kg, dropped from 230mm above the rim. Failure occurs if the wheel fracturers through the center member, the center separates from the rim, or the tire loses all air within a minute. The test is intended to screen wheels and check quality.

    FOREWORD The Saudi Arabian standards organization has adopted the international standard No. 7141/1981 Road Vehicles Wheels Impact Test Procedure issue by the International Organization for Standardization. This standard has been translated into Arabic language with a view to its approval as a Saudi standards, without any technical modifications.

    MOTOR VEHICLES WHEELS IMPACT TEST PROCEDURE


    1. SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION This standard establishes a laboratory test procedure to evaluate axial (lateral) curb impact collision properties of a wheel manufactured either wholly or partly of light alloys with the purpose of screening and/or quality control. This standard is intended for passenger car applications. 2. COMPLEMENTARY REFERENCE SASO ........./............Motor Vehicles Wheels/Rims Nomenclature, Designation, Marking and Units of Measurements. 3. DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this standard, the definitions given in the Saudi standard to be issued by SASO relevant to motor vehicles wheel/rims nomenclature, designation, marking and units of measurement, apply. 4. 4.1 TEST PROCEDURES Wheels for test Only fully-processed new wheels for each test which are representative of wheels intended for passenger car applications shall be used1) . 4.2 Equipment The test machine shall be one in which an impact loading is applied to the rim flange of a wheel complete with tyre. The wheel shall be mounted with its axis at an angle of 13o 1o to the vertical so that its highest point is presented to the vertically-acting striker. The impacting face of the striker system shall be at lest 125 mm wide and at least 375 mm long (see figure 1). 4.3 Procedure With the test calibration adapter located at the mid-span of the beam, a vertical mass of 1000 kg shall be applied to the centre of the wheel mount as shown in figure 2. The vertical central deflection of the test fixture shall be 7.5 mm 10% when measured at the centre of the beam. The wheel shall be mounted on the hub fixture by a means dimensionally representative of attachment used on the vehicle. The wheel fixing(s) shall be manually tightened to a value or by a method as recommended by the vehicle or wheels manufacturer.
    1) Tyres and wheels used for test should not be used subsequently on a vehicle.

    The tyre selected for the test wheel shall be the smallest nominal sectional width tubeless radial-ply size intended for use with the wheel. The inflation pressure shall be that specified by the vehicle manufacturer; in the absence of such specification, it shall be 200 kPa. Because the design of centre members may vary, a sufficient number of locations on the circumference of the rim shall be that specified by the vehicle manufacturer; in the absence of such specification, it shall be 200 kPa. Because the design of centre members may vary, a sufficient number of locations on the circumference of the rim shall be tested to ensure that the integrity of the centre members is investigated. Separate wheel shall be used for each test. 4.3.1 Dropping height The dropping height for the striker weight shall be 230 mm above the highest part of the rim flange. 4.3.2 Alignment of striker The striker shall be over the tyre and the edge must overlap the rim flange by 25 1 mm. 4.3.3 Magnitude of striker mass D = 0.6 W + 180 Where D = mass of striker 2%, expressed in kilograms; W = maximum static wheel loading as specified by wheel and/or vehicle manufacturer, expressed in kilograms. 5. 5.1 5.1.1 5.1.2 5.1.3 FAILURE CRITERIA The failure criteria are: Visible fracture(s) penetrating through a section of the centre member of the wheel assembly. Separation of the centre member from the rim. Total loss of tyre air pressure within one minute.
    Note: Deformation f the wheel assembly, or fractures in the area of the rim section contacted by the face plate of the weight system, do not constitute a failure.
