Basic Tire Mechanics and Inspection 1 Day | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C1423
This course provides an introduction to basic tire mechanics, including materials, sidewall stampings, pressure, tread patterns, tire inspection and basic tire failure identification of passenger and light truck tires. Practical in nature and supplemented with samples and hands-on activities, the course will provide you with information that you can use immediately on-the-job and apply to your own vehicle. It serves as a good primer for the in-depth SAE Tire Forensic Analysis course. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 7 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate and the $5 student CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103. • Read the sidewall of a tire and explain all of the nomenclature • Describe the various types of tread patterns and what they mean on a tire • Describe what is inside the tire and how that relates to some of the sidewall stampings • Photograph black objects and quickly inspect tires in the field • Visualize and explain basic tire failures Who Should Attend This course is extremely helpful for Accident Reconstructionists, Law Enforcement and those with a thirst for knowledge on tires. The materials are basic in nature and not intended for individuals with substantial tire knowledge and is not intended to teach tire design. Topical Outline • Tire Size −− Service Description & tire size suffixes −− Differences between LT and P type tires in load / pressure −− Aspect ratio −− Rim diameter and rim types • Sidewall Stamping −− UTQG −− DOT code −− DOT required stamping • Inflation Pressure • Load and Reserve Load Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to:

Brake Friction Materials: Testing, Quality and Selection 1 Day | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C1020 The choice of brake friction materials varies per application, but each must have the appropriate coefficient of friction and be able to disperse large amounts of heat without adversely effecting braking performance. This seminar will provide an introduction to brake lining raw materials and formulation, manufacturing, quality control and testing. The course covers the critical elements that must be reviewed before arriving at a lining selection decision. Different classes of friction material and their use will be defined. Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Describe the principles of friction • Define the basic elements of friction material formulations • Identify the difference between OE and after-market friction materials • Identify appropriate tests to distinguish the differences between friction materials • Interpret friction material test results Who Should Attend Engineers and technicians working for friction material manufacturers and suppliers to friction material industries will find this course valuable. Brake system designers, quality control auditors, product development engineers, application engineers, lab/bench/vehicle test technicians, managers/friction material sales and marketing will all gain valuable insight into this highly guarded industry. Prerequisites Individuals should have some knowledge of the brake industry.
