This standard is applicable to temperature measurement during the performance test of automotive brakes. 1 Measuring devices 1.1 Thermocouple: the thermocouple material shall be reasonably selected, and standardized thermocouple wire shall be preferred (see Annex A for the recommended thermocouple material). It is 0.3~0.5mm in diameter, and meets the technical requirements of the products upon delivery. Two structural types of thermocouple are recommended. 1.1.1 Plug-in thermocouple (see Figure 1). ... ... 1.1.2 Armored thermocouple: thermocouple made of thermocouple wires, insulating material and metal sleeve through processing, soldering and assembling, which may be ordered from the manufacturer as needed. 1.2 Display and recording device: secondary instrument for displaying and recording the dynamic temperature of brake shall be reasonably selected.
