Annex A (informative) - Example test report

Describes a method for test and measurement of the compressive displacement of brake linings or brake pad assemblies due to loading and temperature.

This International Standard specifies a method for test and measurement of the compressive displacement of brake linings or brake pad assemblies due to loading and temperature. It also provides a test method to assess lining thermal swell and growth.

This International Standard applies to disc brake pad assemblies or coupon samples cut from the friction material.
