The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
6、 ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborate
7、s closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards
8、. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this
9、 document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 9112 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 31, Tyres, rims and valves, Subcommittee SC 4, Tr u c k and bus tyres and rims. This second edition cancels and replaces
10、 the first edition (ISO 9112:1991), which has been technically revised. BS ISO 9112:2008 iv Introduction The distance covered by a vehicle in a straight line in one wheel revolution is information that is increasingly used by the electronic systems in vehicles. One reason is that it makes it possibl
11、e to indicate the instantaneous vehicle speed to the driver. Its evaluation uses the rolling circumference of the tyre in normal usage conditions: tyre deflected by the carried load and inflated to an adapted pressure level. A standardized measuring method is necessary because some parameters, such
12、as tyre load and pressure, can cause the rolling circumference to change. This International Standard contributes to tyres being interchangeable for a given vehicle. Its application by tyre manufacturers allows confidence to be maintained in the information provided to the driver, especially concern
13、ing speed and distance travelled. BS ISO 9112:2008 1 Truck and bus tyres Methods of measuring tyre rolling circumference Loaded new tyres 1S c o p e This International Standard specifies two methods for measuring the rolling circumference and the number of revolutions per unit distance (kilometre) o
14、f new commercial vehicle tyres, under loaded conditions, for use on trucks and buses. The first method is a drum method consisting of loading a test tyre mounted on a free axle against a driven road wheel (or drum) of specified diameter. The second method involves a vehicle whose drive axle is equip
15、ped with the test tyres driven on a straight, paved road. The values thus obtained are not intended for use as levels of performance or quality. This International Standard applies to all truck and bus tyres. NOTE This International Standard applies not only to large truck and bus tyres, but also to
16、 small truck and bus tyres, which are called “light truck tyres” in some countries. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
