ASTM D1003-21 provides the standard procedures for evaluating haze and luminous transmittance of transparent plastics. Applicable primarily to planar sections of essentially transparent materials, this standard is essential for quality control in industries ranging from packaging to automotive glazing. It…
The proliferation of engineering workstations has created a marketplace with many vendors and configurations, making it challenging for users to select the right system. SAE J2026, a Recommended Practice for the Selection of Engineering Workstations, provides a guideline to specify…
SAE J1363 is a past standard (issued 1985, cancelled 2003) that established a uniform method for rating the volumetric capacity of dumper bodies and trailer bodies used in earth-moving machinery. Although superseded by SAE J/ISO 6483, the methods described in…
This SAE Standard, developed by the SAE Powerplant Forum Committee, provides a uniform method for indicating engine rotation direction and numbering cylinders in internal combustion engines. It is intended for new engine designs to eliminate the differences that exist in…
Shot peening intensity is critical for ensuring consistent surface enhancement in aerospace and automotive components. SAE J2597-2017 provides a standardized method for using computer algorithms to generate saturation curves, eliminating the subjectivity of manual curve fitting. This article summarizes the…
The SAE J38 standard (revised 1991) provides critical acceptance criteria for lift arm support devices used on loaders. These devices are essential for safe maintenance, preventing accidental lowering of lift arms when they are held in an elevated position. This…
This article provides a practical overview of the inspection measuring principles for piston rings used in internal combustion engines and compressors, based on the now-cancelled SAE J1589 standard. Its content is fully retained in ISO 6621-2, making this guide equally…
1. Overview of SAE J470-2018 🛠️ SAE J470-2018 is an information report that provides general data on over 50 wrought nickel and nickel-related alloys. It serves as a stabilized reference for mature technologies, focusing on materials where nickel either predominates…
Zinc die casting alloys are valued for their dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and finishability. SAE J469 offers authoritative guidance on two commonly used alloys—Z33520 and Z35531—covering their aging behavior, corrosion protection, and surface finishing requirements. This article distills the essential…
SAE J1614:2024 provides essential guidelines for designing low-voltage (
