Thanks for the links tim they are greatly appreciated. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic

Pat, I called Australian standards to check with them a few weeks ago for one of the test houses wanted a copy of the testing appendixes, AS explained unless it was copied for an company that is a division of the company who bought the standard its illegal to reproduce in any way. I...

Capri, Unfortunately they are copyright so not so sure about posting the standard. Sorry about not specifying the type of wheel, your correct in assuming its a light alloy wheel. The standards I'm referring to are only light alloy road wheel applicable. I agree that the SLR is highly...

i have bought the new standard SAE J 2538 which is different to AS the amount of tests required on each wheel as well as the factors for test loads, Because the test house is in US they use j 2538 so i have to supply my own test specifications. One thing i cant find is an organisation who...

as 1638-2008 Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic

Carnage, So your suggestion is to go and obtain every possible tyre that would fit a wheel, inflate each tyre to every specified pressure for each vehicle that the wheel and tyre will fit on then measure it..... Go figure Greg, I do appreciate the help you guys have tried...

CapriRacer, You seem very switched on i must say. I have done the reasearch on testing methods and have the the relevent AS {Australian Standard} that confirms what tests are required and how to work out the test force loads to meet TYPE approval. What it doesnt state is how to...

Thanks Pat thats what i wanted to know, i just want to make sure i have the correct test forces to satisfy my OCD, not because iv designed the wheel so close to the point of failure. Thanks guys for your help Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark...

The reason I'm seeking the SLR of a wheel/tyre is so i can define that variable in an equation that will equal the required amount of force the wheel will have to meet in testing to conform to Australian standards, so its not such a trivial value. Obviously one particular wheel could have any...

Sorry Greg, was a typo, meant to be SLR. I have copy of the T&RA manual and it doesn't have any data on SLR. The other variable for SLR would be tyre brand hence why there is nothing on this in T&RA.Also even if i did go and physically measure the SLR, it would still depend on what tyre i was...

CapriRacer, What I'm refering to is a figure that ill need for an equation to come up with the required test load for a Dynamic Cornering Fatigue Test. The maximum STL of the largest tyre to be used on wheel is needed to complete this equation. Also May i ask why you say the springs/...

Hey guys just seeking some input for a formula to work out the Static Loaded Radius of a wheel/tyre. The variables that come to mind are Tyre pressure, Unladen mass of vehicle, Strength of side wall of tyre, Stiffness of suspension. When wheel manufacturers calculate for test loads what data do...

Patprimmer, for some reason you have assumed it was a truck wheel that i am talking about.... must be the language barrier and what im saying is getting lost in translation. Cory, Initialy will be requiring 7 indivual billets but im sure this will increase in the future Never be afraid to...

While it may be suitable for large production runs it is much more cost effective for a one off custom wheel to be machined rather than cast.

Sand casting doesnt suit this application. Billet refers to a cast semi finished product. It is also referred to as ingot, particularly for smaller sizes. A billet is typically cast to a rectangular, hexagonal or round cross section compatible with secondary processing Never be afraid to...

biggest size i require at this stage is 650mmx650mmx350mm thanks for the name ill give him a try cheers

Hi im looking for some informaton on where i can find a supplier of 6061 t6 alloy billet, i will need the alloy inlarge billets and would prefer the supplier to be in australia but would consider international leed. also if anyone knows of any testing facilities for the testing of alloy wheels...
