GENERAL INFORMATION
E. SOLID TYRES
A SOLID TYRE is a flexible component of the wheel assembly with a cross section made of rubber or
another elastomer material containing some reinforcing material to guarantee a proper seat on the rim
whereas air or compressed gas does not contribue to the load carrying capacity.
RIMS
Main rim components
Wheel
A rotating load carrying member between the tyre and the axle, usually consisting of two major parts,
the rim and the wheel centre.
Rim
That part of the wheel on which the tyre or tyres and tube assembly is mounted and supported.
Measuring Rim Width (a)
Linear distance between the rim flanges of the measuring rim.
Bead Flange and Bead Seat
The parts of the rim which support the tyre.
Well
That part of the rim so located with sufficient depth and width to enable the beads to be mounted and
dismounted over the mounting side rim flange or bead seat taper.
Valve hole / valve aperture
The hole or slot in the rim which accommodates the valve for tyre inflation.
Gutter
The groove in the rim base in which the rim parts, such as the spring lock ring or detachable spring
flange, fit and are retained by the gutter tip.
PRE-STANDARD
A new standard, or a change of an existing standard, or a new size, or new load version of an existing size, within
the rules of the Engineering Design Information, being under consideration by ETRTO, but wich has not yet rea-
ched the status of standard.

Theoretical Rim Width, Measuring Rim Width and Permitted Alternative rim widths are obtained from the fol-
lowing relationships :
RIM WIDTH = R x TYRE SECTION
where, (i) Calculated RIM WIDTHS, except for the theoretical rim width a1, shall be rounded to the nearest
existing rim width
(ii) TYRE SECTION is the Design Section Width for Code Designated Tyres,
and the Nominal Section Width for Metric Designated Tyres.

(**) min. rim width = max rim width = MRWC if Design Section Height h < 74 mm. Does not apply to Temporary Spare tyres.
Special Applications :
For modifications or transformations of Type Approved Vehicles, consideration could be given to the use of
1/2 rim width code above the range of approved rims. When there is only one approved rim width, conside-
ration could also be given to the use of 1/2 rim width code below the range of approved rims.
This will depend on the Vehicle Type (Geometry, Load distribution, Camber Angle,…), actual Tyre Size and
Construction.
Tyre and Rim Manufacturers have to be consulted for approval of such derogations.

SERVICE CONDITIONS
Calculation of parameters for Standard Load and Extra Load Tyres
(T and S types are excluded)
1. AIM
To calculate the minimum inflation pressure for any speed up to the maximum speed including the tolerance,
the tyre size, the load index and the speed symbol, the camber angle and the tyre load in practice must be consi-
dered.
To specify a framework for the application area of a tyre which could be used as a guide for the Research De-
partment of Vehicle Manufacturers in order to define better the dimensional choices and the conditions of service
of tyres.
2. DEFINITIONS
The Inflation Pressure of passenger car tyres is dependent on the following parameters:
D
G
QT Reference Load Capacity [kg] according to Load Index
P
p Minimum Inflation Pressure [kPa], rounded to the upper 10 kPa.
p should be lower than the maximum inflation pressure as reported in paragraph 11.
a Pressure exponent, a = 0.80 except for sizes with Load Index marked with an asterisk ( * )
for which a = 0.65 (refer to Standards Manual for current standards and to EDI for future
developments)
3. UP TO 160 km/h
p = PT x KS x (QR/QT)1/a in any case p ≥ 150 kPa
European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation – Engineering Design Information – 2016 PC.19
DESIGN GUIDE – Passenger Car Tyres
For applications outside the range of the Y speed symbol, the service conditions (including the actual
speed capabilities, load capabilities and the relevant inflation pressures) for vehicle characteristics will
be agreed between the vehicle and tyre manufacturers when using ZR marked tyres with a service des-
cription within brackets, for example, "(95Y)".
PC.20 European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation – Engineering Design Information – 2016
Passenger Car Tyres – DESIGN GUIDE
To be calculated
KS =
1 for aspect ratio 50 and above
(1.1 - 0.05 x γ) 1.25
1
KS = for aspect ratio 45 to 25
(1 + (0.2625 - 0.00325 x AR) x (1- γ/2 ) ) (1.25)
KS =
1
(1 + 0.3 x (1 - γ /2)) 1.25
for aspect ratio 20 D
where γ = static camber angle (in degrees) including tolerances
and AR = aspect ratio, with 25 ≤ AR ≤ 45
Vehicle camber angles on a passenger car should not exceed the following values for different aspect ratio:
The maximum inflation pressure as shown in paragraph 3.1 of the PC section of the Standard Manual has
to be observed, which means: 320 kPa for standard load tyres with speed symbol up to T and 350 kPa for all
the other metric tyres. For a given size, if the calculated pressure exceeds the maximum, then this size is not
suitable for this application.

when Camber Angle is lower than or equal to 2°
and/or Speed is lower than or equal to 160 km/h.
Adapted Diagrams shall be used for any other case.
In any case, regardless of load, the minimum recommended pressure should not be lower than
- 150 kPa up to 160 km/h and
- 180 kPa above 160 km/h.

TYRE SIZE DESIGNATION
The specifications on page GI.5 apply to new tyre Series and to new sizes in existing Series. For existing sizes,
tyre size designations will remain as shown in the tables in the Standards Manual or in the Obsolete Data
Section.
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The Service Description is formed by one or two load indices (the first for single tyre load and the second for
dual tyre load) and a speed category marking. The indices correspond to normal conditions of service and the
tyre must be capable of the load and speed conditions specified in the marking.
Load Index for Dual fitment must be at least 2 units less than the Load Index for Single fitment.
REGROOVABLE
A minimum rubber thickness of 4 mm between the bottom of the Original Principal Grooves and the upper
surface of the belt is necessary to classify a tyre as regroovable.

255/70 R 20 149/145 J L

The load/speed variations in the Standards Manual do not apply to the Additional Service Descriptions.
The rule "Load Index for Dual fitment must be at least 2 units less than the Load Index for Single fitment" does
not apply to additional service descriptions.
Additional Service Descriptions may specify higher loads at a lower speed or lower loads at a higher speed
compared with the Principal Service Description - see explanatory sketches on page CV.3. In consequence,
different inflation pressures may be required.

G
C-type tyres with reference inflation pressure of 450/475 kPa where also a version at 375 kPa can exist may
exceptionally have an additional service description with a lower LI at the same speed.
C
This is because applying the formula on page C3 of the Standards Manual, at 375 kPa the load carrying
capacity for C-type tyres with reference inflation pressure of 475 kPa is significantly lower than for the same
size with a reference pressure of 375 kPa.

A. DESIGN DIMENSIONS
(1) Formulæ 1–3–6 apply to tyres having metric markings with the aspect ratio incorporated in
the size designation, as on pages GI.6 and GI.7.
(2) Code Designated Sizes
Measuring Rim Width, Design Section Width and Design Overall Diameter for existing tyres
are shown in the Standards Manual tables or in the Previous Standard Data.
N.B. New sizes added to existing series must conform to the rules established for metric series of tyres.
(3) Metric Sizes
(a) The cœfficient R (theoretical rim) shown on Page CV.5 shall be used with Formula 1.
(b) The value k = 0.4 shall be used with Formula 2.
(c) Nominal Section Widths (SN) should end in 5 (except for Ultra Light Sizes ending in 0).
(d) Nominal Aspect Ratio (ar) must be in steps of 5, e.g. 85-80 etc.
(e) Detailed specifications concerning Nominal Tyre Section, Measuring Rim Width, Design Sec-
tion Width and Design Section Height for the different aspect ratios are shown on pages
CV.9 up to CV19.

GENERAL NOTES
The specification on page GI.5 applies to all new tyre series.
Measuring rim width and permitted alternative rim width are obtained from the following
relationships :
RIM WIDTH = R x TYRE SECTION
where, (i) Calculated RIM WIDTHS should be rounded to the nearest existing rim width
(ii) TYRE SECTION is the Design Section Width for Code Designated Tyres,
and the Nominal Section Width for Metric Designated Tyres.
(iii) R is given in the following table :
R
TYRE TYPE Theoretical Rim Permitted Alternatives
(*) Minimum Maximum
Tractor, Construction Application and Forestry Tyres
Traction Wheel Tyres (Diagonal + Radial):
Code Designated Sizes 0.87 – –
Metric Designated Sizes (see table below)
Tractor wheel Metric tyres on 15° drop center rims 0.80 0.75 0.90
IF and VF Metric Tyres (see table next page)
Implement and Garden Tractor Tyres (Diagonal + Radial):
Metric and Code Designated Sizes (’100’, ’95’ and ’90’ Series) 0.70 0.60 0.80
Low Section Sizes/Code Designated Sizes 0.80 0.70 0.90
Metric Series Sizes (’40’ to ’85’ Series on 5° rims) 0.80 0.70 0.90
Metric Series Sizes (’35’ Series and below on 15° rims) 0.85 0.85 0.90
Metric Series Sizes (’40’ to ’85’ Series on 15° rims) 0.80 0.75 0.90

DESIGN GUIDE – Agricultural Equipment Tyres
* Refers to regular service tyres. The user must recognize that tyres with deep treads and increased overall diameters may be used. To calculate "Maximum Overall Diameter in Service, of SPECIALIST
TYRES, Factor FhG = 1.12 is to be used; such Tyres have to be marked "DEEP", "LS-3" or "R2". ONE OF THE 3 MARKINGS IS MANDATORY.
For differences in Overall Diameter, consult the tyre manufacturer.

The Speed Radius Index (SRI) is a reference value for a group of interchangeable sizes.
The figure showing the Speed Radius Index is equal to the RI rounded upwards according to the below
intervals.
Example: for size 750/60 R42 the raw calculated RI is 927.25; this calculated value should be roun-
ded to 927 (the nearest integer); the corresponding SRI is the next possible upper value according
to the defined intervals -> SRI = 975

THEORETICAL FORMULATION
C =Fxd
R
Note: Where practical values of tyre rolling circumference are required, consult tyre manufacturers or their
National Associations with regard to tyre structure, tread patterns, applications and method of mea-
surement.
Rolling circumference 'C' is influenced by the speed at which it is measured - Approximate variations are :
Speed (km/h) 100 120 140 160 180 210
Variation of 'C' % + 0.75 + 1.25 + 1.75 + 2.0 + 2.5 + 3.5
The following formula for Theoretical Static Loaded Radius, FOR REGULATIONS PURPOSES ONLY, is given
as a guide to vehicle manufacturers to cover E.T.R.T.O. Members’ tyre.
RS = dr/2 + FR x (d - dr)/2
Where : RS =Theoretical Static Loaded Radius
dr = Nominal Rim Diameter
(page GI.8 from Engineering Design Information book)
d = Design Overall Diameter
FR = Factor as below
Note: ‘Theoretical’ — to be used for calculation purposes only. Does not necessarily relate to the measured dimensions.

1. AIM
To specify a framework for the application area of a tyre which could be used as a guide for Vehicle Manu-
facturers in order to define better the dimensional choices and the conditions of service of tyres.
2. DEFINITIONS
The Inflation Pressure of motorcycle tyres is dependent on the following parameters:
D
QT Reference Load Capacity [kg] according to Load Index
V Max Speed of the motorcycle [km/h] shall not exceed the maximum speed corresponding to the speed symbol
3. UP TO 150 km/h
p = PT x ( QR/QT)1.25 in any case p ≥ 150 kPa (200 kPa for friction drive vehicles)
QV = [ 1 - 0.005 x (V - 210) ] QT
p = (PT + 60) x (QR/QV)1.25 in any case p ≥ 150 kPa and QV must be > QR
M
– Over 180 to 240 km/h
QV = [ 1 - 0.005 x (V - 240) ] QT
p = (PT + 60) x (QR/QV)1.25 in any case p ≥ 150 kPa and QV must be > QR

Notes :
For actual measurements of tyres current Rim Width Codes are used.
(1) Measuring Rim Width Codes shown are close to the theoretical rim.
(2) The table is based on a theoretical rim width R = 0.7 and is valid for tyres in radial and diagonal construction.
(3) The table is based on a theoretical rim width R = 0.8 and is valid for tyres in radial and diagonal construction.

The tables in the previous pages and the tyre dimensions are based on the following formulas.
a1 = sN • R Formula (1)
a1 – Theoretical Rim Width
sN – Nominal Section Width
R – Ratio (0.7 for ar>=60 and 0.8 ar<60 for crossply and radial)
No rounding is to be performed after calculation of Theoretical Rim Width.

NOMENCLATURE
ETRTO ISO
1. For preferred sizes and load capacities, see ISO 3739/I + II, Annex B. Each tyre size has four
proposed loads with equal increments of four load indices between them.
2. The reference or basic speed for tyre load identification is 25 km/h (Speed Symbol A5).
3. If the tyre’s maximum speed capability is less than 50 km/h, it shall be marked on the tyre,
e.g. max. 40 km/h.
4. If a Service Description is required, it should be positioned in close proximity to the size
designation.
* If single chains are used, the recommended minimum dual spacing must be increased accordingly.

Future series of tyres shall be designated by a size marking in three parts as follows :
Nominal Section Width / Aspect Ratio—Nominal Rim Diameter Code
Note : The Sub-Committee will decide whether codes or millimeters or both may be used as unit for the Nominal Section Width Code.
ADDITIONAL MARKINGS
Types of Construction
Diagonal Ply construction will not be separately marked.
Radial Ply construction will be identified in the tyre size designation by the code letter R placed
between the nominal aspect ratio and the nominal rim diameter code. In addition, the word RADIAL

The load/speed variations in the Standards Manual do not apply to the Additional Service Descrip-
tions.
Additional Service Descriptions may specify higher loads at a lower speed or lower loads at a higher
speed compared with the Principal Service Description - see explanatory sketch below. In
consequence, different inflation pressures may be required.

TESTING METHODS – Method to measure the Tyre Ground Pressure
1. Scope
To define the method for the determination of the 'Tyre Ground Pressure' transmitted to the road surface by
the contact area of the loaded tyre fitted to a vehicle.
2. Definitions
The following definitions of Annex II of Directive 92/23/EEC apply :
2.1. 'cold inflation pressure' means the internal pressure of the tyre with the tyre at ambient temperature and
does not include any pressure build up due to tyre usage. It is expressed in kPa.
2.2. 'virtual perimeter of the tyre footprint' means the convex polygonal curve circumscribing the smallest area
containing all points of contact between the tyre and the ground.
2.3. 'tyre contact area (Ac)' means the area of the flat surface contained within the virtual perimeter of the tyre
footprint.
'2.4. tyre ground pressure (F/Ac)' means the average specific load transmitted by the tyre through its contact
area to the road surface. It is expressed as the ratio between the vertical force (F), acting in static condi-
tions on the axis of the wheel and the tyre contact area (Ac) measured with the tyre inflated at the cold
inflation pressure recommended for the intended type of service. It is expressed in kN/m2.
3. Test procedure
3.1. Fit the tyre on the measuring rim, or on any other rim permitted for the tyre size, and inflate it to the cold
inflation pressure specified for the type of service.
3.3. In case of new tyre, break in the tyre on a drum with a diameter of 1.7 m for at least 100 km at the nominal
tyre load and at a speed of 200 rev/min. Alternatively, break in the tyre, on road and fitted on a vehicle,
for the same distance and at a speed of 60 km/h.
3.4. Keep the unloaded tyre and wheel assembly at ambient temperature for at least 6 hours.
3.6. Place the tyre and wheel assembly normal to a rigid, smooth and flat surface on which a device suitable
for the measurement of the tyre contact area has previously been installed (for example an unused sheet
of carbon paper between two unused drawing sheets).
3.7. Apply gradually to the axle of the tyre and perpendicularly to the rigid surface, a force (F ) corresponding
to the maximum load acting on the tyre in service and keep it constant for at least 2 minutes. The force
to be expressed in N.
3.8. Remove gradually the force from the tyre and then lift the tyre,perpendicularly, from the rigid surface.
3.9. Rotate the tyre by approximately 180° around its axle of rotation and repeat as per previous items 3.6,
3.7 and 3.8

TESTING METHODS – Treatment of tyres on vehicle test rigs
TREATMENT OF TYRES ON VEHICLE TEST RIGS - Motorcycle and passenger car tyres
1. Purpose
Purpose of this ETRTO guideline is the preventive avoidance of damages on motorcycle and passenger car
tyres. One reason for this can be the overstress of tyres on vehicle test benches. By improper execution of test
runs visible or invisible tyre damages, e. g. hidden carcass separations are possible. Especially the invisible
damages are dangerous, as they can lead to sudden tyre failures as a result of long term changes.
By adherence to the following recommendation care is taken to a large extend, that by involvement of vehicle
test benches no causes for later occurring tyre damages are preset.
3.1 Basics
Main issue is the recommendation, to use special test tyres on performance test benches to prevent the vehicle
mounted tyres from damage. If the vehicle mounted tyres are used, not only the inflation pressure has to be
increased, but also some restrictions in high speed and test duration have to be observed. If these restrictions
are not applicable to reach the aim of the test, special test tyres for work shop purposes have to be used in
any case. There is no other way to reach the required aim of traffic safety.
- The cold tyre has to be inflated to at least 250 kPa. The inflation pressure should not exceed 300 kPa, but
the recommended pressure of the vehicle manufacturer has to be used, if this lies above 300 kPa.
- The vehicle has not to be loaded. Hand baggage and tooling is not taken into account.
- The permitted maximum speeds and durations belong to the roller diameter of the performance test bench.
- For test durations above one minute the maximum speeds and durations at given roller diameters as shown
in graph 1 shall not be exceeded.
- For test durations up to one minute and roller diameter of 318 mm and above the speeds may be exceeded
by 125% of the indicated speeds.
3.2.4 In any case we discourage from several test runs with the same set of the vehicle mounted tyres. If this
can not be avoided, a cooling phase of at least one hour must be held between each test run.
4.1 Brake test benches must be equipped with a blocking protection or blocking control.
4.2 The maximum speed on brake test benches with rollers, which are equipped with profiles, metal baffles
or similar devices to increase the coefficient of friction shall not exceed 10 km/h. For the maximum speed on
brake test benches with smooth rollers see graph 1.
4.3 During the brake test no blocking of the wheels must occur.
5. Passenger car tyres on test benches for function checks during production
Main issue for applications of tyres on test benches in the vehicle’s final inspection is the prevention of
stresses, which might reduce the durability of the tyres.
TT.2 European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation – Engineering Design Information – 2016
Treatment of tyres on vehicle test rigs – TESTING METHODS
Generally a temperature of 60°C at the belt edge shall not be exceeded for duration of maximum 15 minutes.
For checking, if a damage can be excluded, it is recommended, to carry out the following tests, depending on
the test bench configuration:
1. Visual control
Check of the tyre on changes. This can be cracks on the pattern surface, groove surface or sipes, tearing on
pattern blocks, but also chafing in the sidewall area. Also a movement on the rim can be a sign of high stresses.
2. Tyre examination
By non-destructive test (holography, shearography) can be clarified, if non visible damages occurred during
testing. For example belt or ply separations, but also buckling or bruise in the sidewall area.
6. Misuse control
It has to be insured by a suitable test bench control, that service related malfunctions are recorded, to detect
overstress coming from this. This is needed for a later decision, if such tyres are still suitable for street service.

TESTING METHODS – Method to measure the Electrical Resistance of Tyre on a Test Rig
1. SCOPE
Occasions exist where static charges on the vehicle must be dissipated by way of the tyre. Electrical resistance
inversely measures the tyre ability to dissipate static charge from the vehicle.
The standard describes a test method to measure the electrical resistance of pneumatic and solid tyres, under
load, on a test rig.
Item 5 additionally specifies conditions for measurement on a vehicle.
Item 6 specifies simplified test conditions for 'production control routine'.
The method specifies procedures and equipment such that electrical resistance can be accurately determined
for tyres with values up to 1012 Ohm.
2.1.CONNECTING POINT
Any point on the wheel or metal loading plate where the resistance-measuring instrument’s leads are connec-
ted.
2.2.TEST LOAD
The force applied to the tyre through the rim, it is normal to the metal loading plate onto which the tyre is
loaded.
3. MEASUREMENT
3.1.DESCRIPTION
The electrical resistance of an inflated Tyre-wheel assembly is measured between the wheel and the conduc-
ting surface against which the tyre is loaded.
3.2.MEASURING EQUIPMENT
Resistance shall be measured by a commercial instrument capable of measuring electrical resistance in Ohm
and having a power source capable of 1000 V. The voltage shall be controlled as described in figure 1 and
shall not dissipate more than 3W in the test sample. The instrument shall be capable of determining the resis-
tance up to a value of 1012 Ohm with an accuracy of ± 5 %.
The metal loading plate shall be sufficient in dimensions to encompass the entire contact surface of the tyre
under test and with sufficient thickness to support the test loads described in 3.4 without visible deformation.
The plate shall be made of a conductive corrosive-resistant metal, for example, brass or stainless steel, free
from coating or obvious surface contamination, such as oxidation or corrosion. Aluminum shall not be used
for the plate because of its high susceptibility to the rapid development of surface oxides, which may adversely
affect reading accuracy.
A loading fixture (figure 1) capable to applying the tyre load normal to the metal loading plate. Test load mea-
surement accuracy shall be ±1 %.
A sheet insulating material such as polyethylene, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), or equivalent, with sufficient
strength to support the test loads described in 3.4 without visible deformation. The insulating material should
have dimensions of at least 50 mm greater, on all sides, than the metal loading plate. With insulating sheet
installed between the metal loading plate and the loading apparatus base (figure 1), the electrical resistance
between the metal loading plate and the loading apparatus should be at least 1014 Ohm.
In practice,the electrical resistance of the plate relative to loading apparatus must be at least two orders of
magnitude higher than that of the tyre being measured.
TR.2 European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation – Engineering Design Information – 2016
Method to measure the Electrical Resistance of Tyre on a Test Rig – TESTING METHODS
3.3.CONDITIONING
For at least 8 hours prior to measurement of passenger, light truck and motorcycle tyre applications (24 hours
for all other tyres), the tyre to be tested shall be kept at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 7)°C, and a relative
humidity less then 60 %.
3.4.MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS
The test load applied during the measurement is (80 ±5)% of the maximum tyre load capacity. The inflation
pressure, to be registered in the test report, shall be appropriate for the test load applied. Ambient temperature
during the measurement shall be maintained at (23 ±7)°C. Relative humidity during the measurement shall be
maintained at ≤ 60 %.
3.5.PROCEDURE
The approved wheel (steel preferred) must be stripped clean in the bead seat area, as well as at the connection
point.It is necessary to make sure the tyre is dry before taking the measurement. Mount the tyre dry, i.e.wit-
hout using any lubricant, if possible. To avoid damage to tyre in the case of difficult mounting conditions, a
water-soluble mounting solution can be used.
Any mounting solution on the sidewall or tread of the tyre must be cleaned and dried.
Mark a reference point on the tyre sidewall with a nonconductive material.
Set up the apparatus as shown in Figure 1. Clean the metal loading plate with isopropyl alcohol or a similar
agent and allow to dry. Conductive or nonconductive substances on the tyre such as mould release agents, or
paints, or both, which could affect the result, must be removed. The use of organic solvent as likely to attack
the rubber is prohibited. Connect the ohmmeter leads to the metal loading plate and the wheel.
Load the tyre-wheel assembly at the reference point to the value specified in 3.4, hold for 1 minute, and then
remove the load.
T
Repeat the load-unload cycle a second time.
If the resistance is less then 1010 Ohm the current shall be not less then 10-7 A and the voltage not more then
1000 V.
Load the tyre the third time to the test load and immediately apply the test voltage for at least two additional
circumferential locations evenly spaced around the tyre.
Record the resistance measurement 3 minutes ±10 s after the voltage has been applied. The voltage and the
load are to be applied continuously to the tyre until the final measurement is recorded. Unload the tyre. Repeat
the preload cycle and measurement for at least two additional circumferential locations evenly spaced around
the tyre.

3.3.INSTALLATION
All valves, while wet by putting it into clear water at ambient temperature as a lubricant, shall be installed in
a proper test fixture by applying valve insertion force to the end of the valve metal insert or by applying valve
traction force to the mouth of the valve, perpendicular to the plane of the valve mounting hole and directly
through the centre of the valve mounting hole. No valve assembly, however, shall be tested which has damage
resulting from installation.
A valve shall be considered properly seated when the entire indicator ring is observed to be through the rim
or valve mounting hole fixture.
After installation, valve assemblies must be thoroughly dried in the sealing area before continuing tests.
3.4.DEFINITIONS
3.4.1. Unused valves are those that have completed final manufacturing processing at least 24 h previously,
have not been subjected to any test or service and have been stored for no longer than 4 months in the
dark, at ambient temperature, in optimal and non aggressive environment. Rubber compounds may
change characteristics during their life expectancy.
3.4.2. For the purpose of the present testing method, we define an aged valve as an unused valve that has
been subjected to 100 ± 3°C for 4 h in circulating hot air and cooled at 20-26°C for a minimum of 4
hours. If nothing specified, unused valves are the valves to test.
3.4.3. All tested valves must be in compliance with ETRTO standard book, pin height must meet core chamber
requirement (Standards Manual §.7 of valve section).
