1.16.3 Center of Gravity Height Test
Procedure
Measurement
Vehicle shall be loaded according to test
specifications specified in ECE13-H ANNEX 9
(Vehicle Mass) or ADR 35 or applicable local
legislation.
In order to check the center of gravity height the
following described method is proposed.
For this test four scales are required. The test is
possible with two scales but this requires more
preparation and it results in lower accuracy.
Initially the vehicle weights needs to be measured
in a horizontal position. Afterwards the front is
lifted and weights measured again. The higher it
is lifted the more accurate the results will be. The
height is restricted by different possible touch
conditions, between vehicle parts and roof, ground
and environment.
In order to improve measurements following
preparations need to be done:
•
Fix wheel travel, for example: solid shocks, or
spring fixes
•
Increase tire pressure to maximum allowed
value
•
It is important to remove all load, for example
moving items, from the car or it should be
properly fixed
•
Doors should be closed
Before measuring the vehicle the engine must be
switched off, after lifting it should be rolled freely
in order to release tension in the tire and
suspension.
Calculation
In order to estimate the resulting vertical center
of gravity (CG
v
) the axle load needs to be
measured twice. First one is in the horizontal plane
and the second measurement is after the front is
lifted. To get a consistent result this test should
be done 3 times independently with different
heights. To improve accuracy the test is repeated
with the rear end lifted.
