This presentation focuses on the ongoing efforts to update the compressibility test method to further define proper testing and measurements, keep it current, and harmonize it with other industry standards and regulations. Among others, such efforts involve improved definitions, reflecting requirements from the ECE R90, improved sample conditioning, the possible expansion for enabling testing of full air disc brake pads, and adjusting brake pressures and temperatures for vehicles with regenerative braking systems. The presentation also provides a comparison to other methods to characterize the compressive behaviour of friction materials.
