The buffed casing shall be to the original dimensions of the casing manufacturer minus the tread pattern and depth. profile in accordance with the procedure specifications. The buffed surface on the casing shall be free of contamination or ox
37、idation. The buffing radii used must be in accordance with specifications approved by both the retread supplier and the original tire manufacturer. For tires needing repairs at this point, see Appendix B. After buffing, the casing shall be inspected using the items listed under 3.3. 3.4.1.1 Uncured
38、tread retreadinq. (Type I). The casing utilizing uncured tread rubber shall be uniformly buffed using a matrix template or other system of measure to insure matching of the matrix tread contour and size. The casing with the uncured tread rubber applied shall be shaped and properly fitted into the ma
39、trix in accordance with bead to bead, diameter and section width as published in the specifications for the equipment used. 3.4.1.2 Precured tread retreading. (Type II). Tires must be built in an inflated condition. The casing utilizing precured tread rubber shall be buffed to the width that is appr
40、opriate to the fixed dimensions of the precured tread rubber specified. The radius of the buffed area shall have all tread grooves removed and shall be centered on the casing with equal shoulder heights. The finished tire shall be as close as possible to the specified radius. The precured tread rubb
41、er width shall be within +/- l/8“ of the casings original tread width. 3.4.2 Cementing. Buffed casings to be cemented shall be clean and free of foreign materials such as buffing dust, dirt, oil, or any foreign matter. Cementing shall be accomplished within a maximum of 8 hours after buffing. Buffed
42、 casings stored over 8 hours shall be rebuffed/reworked prior to cementing. In procedures that do not require cementing of the casing, the tread shall be applied within 8 hours or the casing reworked to comply with the 8 hour requirement. otherwise the casing shall be reworked, cleaned and/or receme
43、nted. The worn tread surface shall be removed to a symmetrical .
