What thing of test crash should you know about ?
Arlington, - What thing of test crash should you know about ? It's needed to you because of driving security's top priority of us when we takes our cars.
If you watch the video a hit on YouTube test the Chevrolet Malibu and 2009 Chevrolet Bel Air 1959, the car will know the level of security present. New cars must pass crash tests conducted by the manufacturer. Nevertheless some independent testing agency according to their standards.
In America, there is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), specifically testing the new cars will be sold in the land of Uncle Sam. Others, New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) that is spread across several continents, including Europe (EuroNCAP). The results of those represented by the number of stars. The more stars, the more secure the car.
Also there is the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the agency established tests by insurance companies with some degree of ratings: Good (Good), acceptable (Fair), ordinary (marginal), and bad (poor). Later data safety tests become more considered because the IIHS has more complete test facilities. Here's how to test cash.
1. FMVSS 301This is not a crash test to determine the safety of the passengers, but test the fuel tank does not leak when the hard collision occurs. Because, if the fuel tank is leaking, the consequences are very dangerous. To get good grades, the tank must be filled 93 per cent, should not leak more than one ounce per minute. This also applies to spill the liquid electrolyte in an electric car.
2. FMVSS 208, Full Frontal ImpactThis is a test "original", has run various institutions since 1968. All of the front of the car crashed into a special wall, straight at speeds above 48 miles per hour for the puppets (dummy) without a seat belt and 56 km per hour for the puppets with seatbelts fitted.
3. Small-Overlap Frontal ImpactAt a speed of 64 km per hour, 25 percent of the front of the car crash. Passengers will be thrown into a corner of the car (A-pillars). At the test some time ago, only three of the 11 cars that are considered safe to test this type. Most air bags front and side passenger's head could not resist the "wandering" hit the pillar A.
4. Moderate-Overlap Frontal ImpactAlmost the same as the test number two, at a speed of 64 km per hour, 40 percent of the front of the car crash. First performed in 1995. As a result, many cars do not meet expectations. Finally, manufacturers add several components to strengthen the engine room and passengers with special structures.
5. FMVSS 214, Side ImpactIn this test, the wall vandal's weighing 1300 kg dihantamkan to the body side of the car that drove at a speed of 53 km per hour with a 90 degree angle. IIHS uses a scarecrow woman in the front seat and rear crash determines the point of dangerous. Only 20 percent achieved good title in 2003. Today, car manufacturers also have to think to strengthen the body structure and side pillars.
6. FMVSS 216, Roof CrushSteel plates weighing more than 2,700 kg blasted ketepi's roof. In theory, to achieve good grades, roof must be able to withstand the load of four times the weight of the car.
