FMVSS 121 TESTING STANDARD TESTING PARAMETERS
WHAT IS FMVSS 121 STANDARD? FMVSS 121 stands for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 and tests whether a given rotor has suf- ficient heat dissipation characteristics to pass the set test requirements. WHY TEST TO FMVSS 121 STANDARD? Testing TRP® shoes to the FMVSS 121 standard ensures that the linings are put through standardised testing. It verifies that the lining passes a set criteria at a given weight load. Australian and New Zealand vehicle standards are for the fully dressed axle, so it is import- ant that we use a recognised standard like FMVSS 121 to test the performance of the friction material.
TEST PARAMETERS The test was performed by Link Manufacturing, an in- dependent testing facility based in the US. The FMVSS 121 test was performed on the following Linings: STANDARD LININGS - 21K GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) TRP21K Lining Material PREMIUM LININGS - 23K 21K GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR) TRP23K Lining Material
* IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT TRP® TESTED TO FACTOR 165 FOR BOTH STANDARD AND PREMIUM LININGS. THE FACTOR IS CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE SLACK ADJUSTER ARM LENGTH BY THE AIR CHAMBER DIAPHRAGM SIZE. (30 X 5.5 = 165). TRP®TEST TO THIS FACTOR AS MOST CLASS 8 TRUCKS USE A 5.5” SLACK ADJUSTER AND A 30/30 AIR CHAMBER.
