BRAKE PADS FOR DISC BRAKES AND COMPOSITION BRAKE BLOCKS. REPRODUCIBILITY AND COMPARABILITY OF BRAKE TESTS ON FULL-SCALE BRAKE DYNAMOMETERS

Investigations on six full-scale brake dynamometers which were made in connection with the problems of reproducibility and comparability are described in the report. The results of this work formed the basis for the conditions, requirements and recommendations which will have to be met by brake dynamometers, and the test procedure for carrying out a programme of acceptance tests, for disc brake pads and composition brake blocks.
