This SAE Recommended Practice provides uniform procedures and minimum performance requirements for fatigue testing pressed steel wheels intended for normal highway use on travel, camping, and boat and light utility trailers drawn by passenger cars and light trucks. There are two basic test procedures described, a cornering fatigue test and radial fatigue test. The cornering test is directed at the wheel disc; whereas the radial test also examines the rim and attachment portion of the wheel. Both test procedures are required to obtain a thorough examination of the wheel.
