EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ASTM F724 testing. This test method covers procedures for evaluating passenger car tires for sidewall component integrity and crack resistance using an outdoor road wheel.
This test method evaluates the resistance of tire sidewalls to dynamic weathering, atmospheric ozone cracking, fatigue cracking or cracking of joints within or between sidewall components, and cracking in molded sidewall elements.
This testing method is useful for evaluating a tire's black sidewalls, white or other colored sidewalls, and lamella strips.
This testing method is limited to comparative performance testing between a "control" sidewall component or assembly and one or more experimental alternatives built on the same tire ("multi-section") or tires identical in every respect except the sidewall.
This test method is not valid for evaluating the resistance of the sidewall to abrasion, such as may be experienced during heavy cornering or curb scraping.
Test Methods D518, D1149, D1171 and D3395 can be used to evaluate different aspects of the fatigue and weather cracking resistance of sidewall component materials in the form of test specimens. The present method is applied to complete tires exposed to real weathering conditions. The current method is satisfactory for research and development purposes but cannot be applied to regulatory codes or purchasing specifications until standard cracking condition classifications similar to those in Test Method D1171 are established.
This standard does not purport to address all safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
