ISO 6310 specifies a method for test and measurement of the compressive displacement of brake linings or brake pad assemblies due to loading and temperature. It also provides a test method to assess lining thermal swell and growth. ISO 6310 applies to disc brake pad assemblies or coupon samples cut from the friction material.
Equipment Required
