GB/T 6326 Tyre terms and definitions
HG/T 2177 Appearance quality of tyres
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 6326 and the following apply.
3.1
inflation pressure loss rate
change of revised inflation pressure, obtained from the slope of the straight line where the logarithm of inflation pressure is fitting with the time curve
3.2
measured inflation pressure
inflation pressure measured within a specified time period at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure
3.3
revised inflation pressure
inflation pressure at one standard atmospheric pressure and nominal temperature, which is revised from a measured inflation pressure according to the definition of ideal gas
3.4
nominal temperature
reference temperature of a temperature control room specified in a test
4 Test equipment
4.1 General
The test equipment includes tyre inflation pressure sensors, ambient temperature sensors, atmospheric pressure sensors, adapters connecting tyres and tyre inflation pressure sensors, and computers and systems for recording and analyzing test data.
4.2 Tyre inflation pressure sensor
The accuracy is ±0.25% of the measured value.
4.3 Atmospheric pressure sensor
The range is 80 kPa ~ 120 kPa, and the accuracy is ±0.25% of the full scale.
4.4 Ambient temperature sensor
The range is 0°C ~ 50°C and the accuracy is ±0.2°C.
5 Test conditions
5.1 The average ambient temperature of the temperature control room shall be controlled at ±0.6°C of the nominal temperature, and during the whole test, the temperature change shall be controlled within ±3°C. The nominal temperature is 21°C, 24°C, 30°C, 38°C or other values. The air in the temperature control room shall circulate evenly to reduce the temperature difference.
5.2 Tyres shall be kept at room temperature for more than 24 hours after vulcanization. Before inflation, they shall be kept at 18°C ~ 36°C for more than 3 hours.
5.3 At least two tyres for each size designation shall be selected for testing.
5.4 The appearance of tyres shall meet the requirements of HG/T 2177.
