ANEXO N.º 6 Método de medida dos pneus 1 - Montar o pneu na jante de ensaio especificada pela empresa de recauchutagem e insuflá-lo à pressão de 3 bar a 3,5 bar. 2 - Submeter o pneu, montado na jante adequada, à temperatura ambiente do laboratório durante pelo menos vinte e quatro horas, salvo indicação em contrário do parágrafo 6.6.3 do presente Regulamento. 3 - Ajustar a pressão do pneu ao valor especificado no parágrafo 1 do presente anexo. 4 - Medir, tendo em conta a espessura das nervuras ou cordões de protecção, a largura total, em seis pontos espaçados regularmente. Considerar como largura total o valor máximo medido. 5 - Calcular o diâmetro exterior a partir do perímetro máximo do pneu insuflado. ANEXO N.º 7 Procedimentos dos ensaios de resistência carga/velocidade (em princípio de acordo com o Regulamento n.º 54) 1 - Preparação do pneu: 1.1 - Montar um pneu recauchutado na jante de ensaio especificada pela empresa recauchutadora; 1.2 - Utilizar uma câmara-de-ar nova, uma união de câmara-de-ar, válvula e flap (conforme o caso), nos ensaios de pneus com câmara-de-ar; 1.3 - Insuflar o pneu à pressão correspondente ao índice de pressão especificado no parágrafo 3.2.10 do presente Regulamento; 1.4 - Submeter o conjunto pneu e roda à temperatura ambiente da sala de ensaios durante pelo menos três horas; 1.5 - Reajustar a pressão do pneu à especificada no parágrafo 1.3 do presente anexo. 2 - Procedimento de ensaio: 2.1 - Montar o conjunto pneu e roda sobre o eixo de ensaio e aplicá-lo na face exterior lisa de um tambor de ensaio motorizado, de 1,70 m (mais ou menos) 1% de diâmetro, cuja superfície é pelo menos tão larga como o piso. Em certos casos pode ser utilizado um tambor de diâmetro 2 m (mais ou menos) 1%; 2.2 - Aplicar no eixo de ensaio uma série de cargas de ensaio igual a uma percentagem da carga indicada no anexo n.º 4 do presente Regulamento, correspondente ao índice de carga indicado no pneu e de acordo com o programa de ensaios seguinte. No caso de o pneu possuir índices de capacidade de carga para utilização em rodado simples ou duplo, a carga de referência para utilização em rodado simples é escolhida como base para as cargas de ensaio; 2.2.1 - No caso de um pneu que possua um índice de carga =<121 e um símbolo de categoria de velocidade >= Q (160 km/h), o procedimento de ensaio será o especificado no parágrafo 3 do presente anexo; 2.2.2 - Para todos os outros pneus, o procedimento de ensaio é o que consta no apêndice n.º 1 do presente anexo; 2.3 - Programa de ensaio de resistência - v. igualmente o apêndice n.º 1 do presente anexo; 2.3.1 - Durante todo o ensaio, a pressão do pneu não deve ser corrigida e a carga de ensaio deve ser mantida constante durante cada um dos três patamares de ensaio; 2.3.2 - Durante o ensaio, a temperatura da sala de ensaios deve ser mantida num valor situado entre 20ºC e 30ºC, a menos que o fabricante do pneu ou o recauchutador aceitem a utilização de uma temperatura mais elevada; 2.4 - O programa de ensaios de resistência deve ser aplicado sem interrupções. 3 - Procedimento de ensaio carga/velocidade para os pneus com um índice de carga =<121 e um símbolo de velocidade >= Q (160 km/h): 3.1 - A carga máxima na roda e no pneu será a seguinte percentagem da carga correspondente ao índice de carga do pneu: 3.1.1 - 90%, quando o ensaio é efectuado num tambor com um diâmetro de 1,70 m (mais ou menos) 1%; 3.1.2 - 92%, quando o ensaio é efectuado num tambor com um diâmetro de 2 m (mais ou menos) 1%; 3.2 - A velocidade do patamar inicial do ensaio será inferior em 20 km/h à indicada pelo código de velocidade do pneu; 3.2.1 - Tempo para se atingir a velocidade do primeiro patamar do ensaio - dez minutos; 3.2.2 - Duração da primeira fase do ensaio - dez minutos; 3.3 - A velocidade da segunda fase do ensaio será inferior em 10 km/h à indicada pelo símbolo de velocidade do pneu; 3.3.1 - Duração da segunda fase do ensaio - dez minutos; 3.4 - A velocidade da última fase do ensaio será igual à indicada pelo símbolo de velocidade do pneu; 3.4.1 - Duração da última fase - trinta minutos; 3.5 - Duração total do ensaio - uma hora. 4 - Método equivalente de ensaio - se for utilizado um método diferente do descrito nos parágrafos 2 ou 3 do presente anexo, a sua equivalência tem de ser demonstrada.
