Industrial vehicles are usually short-distance, low-speed, intermittent or periodic operation vehicles. 4.3.6 Agricultural tyre Tyre designed for use on tractors, agricultural machinery, agricultural vehicles. Note. Agricultural machinery and vehicles are usually used for low-speed operation machinery in various fields, such as farmland and sugarcane fields or for short-distance low- speed transportation operations in agricultural operating areas. 4.3.7 Logging tyre Tyre designed for use on forestry machinery and forestry vehicles. Note. Forestry machinery and vehicles are usually used for low-speed operations in various mountainous areas, such as forest areas and forest farms. It is a type of agricultural tyre. 4.3.8 Aircraft tyre Pneumatic tyre designed for use on aircraft.

5 Tyre parts and components

Note. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for schematic diagrams of tyre parts and components. 5.1 Bead heel Bead toe 5.2 Shoulder The edge parts on both sides of the crown. 5.3 Sidewall The part of the tyre between the tread and the bead. 5.4 Rim protector Rim protection strip A raised rubber strip on the sidewall of a tyre that protects the rim. 5.5 Bead heel The part where the outside of the bead meets the fillet of the rim bead seat. 5.6 Bead toe The tip portion on the inside of the bead. 5.7 Tread The part of the tyre that is in contact with the ground. 5.8 Carcass The pneumatic tyre structure usually consists of one or several layers of cords and wire rings (except sidewall rubber, tread rubber, belt or breaker). 5.9 Tyre inner surface The inner surface of the cover. 5.10 Breaker The rubber ply or layer between the tread and carcass of a diagonal tyre, which does not extend to the middle material layer of the bead.

6 Tyre tread pattern

Note. This dimension is used by vehicle manufacturers when designing tyre clearance. 8.4 Overall circumference The circumference of the outermost surface of the tyre tread. 8.5 Overall diameter The circumferential diameter of the outermost surface of the tyre. 8.6 Nominal overall diameter The diameter of the outermost surface of the tread of tyre, after installed on the theoretical rim and inflated according to the specified inflation pressure, which is marked in the tyre size designation. 8.7 Section width The maximum distance between the two outer sides of the tyre section, after inflated as specified, excluding the increased width of signs, decorative ribs, kerbing ribs. Note. See Figure 4. 8.8 Nominal section width The cross-sectional width of the tyre, after it is installed on the theoretical rim and inflated according to the specified inflation pressure. Note. The cross-section width as identified in the tyre size designation. 8.9 Overall width After inflating as specified, the maximum distance between the two outer sides of the tyre section, including the increased width of the sign, decorative rib, kerbing rib. Note. See Figure 4. 8.10 Section height After being inflated as specified, half the difference between the overall diameter of the tyre and the nominal rim diameter. Note. See Figure 4.

9 Tyre performance and testing

9.1 General terminology for testing 9.1.1 Capped inflation test The test in which the tyre is inflated to a certain cold inflation pressure, but no air pressure adjustment is made during the test. 9.1.2 Regulated inflation test The test in which the tyre is inflated to a certain cold inflation pressure, meanwhile air pressure adjustment is made during the test. 9.2 Static load performance 9.2.1 Vertical load The normal reaction force exerted by the tyre on its contact patch. 9.2.2 Static loaded performance In the stationary state, the relationship between vertical load, tyre deformation and ground contact area. 9.2.3 Static loaded radius The vertical distance from the center of the wheel axle to the supporting plane, under vertical load of static tyre. 9.2.4 Deflection After the tyre is inflated as specified, the decrease of section height under the action of static load. 9.2.5 Deflection ratio The ratio of deflection to tyre section height. 9.2.6 Loaded section width The width of the tyre section under vertical load. ......
