Birrana Engineering How to use the Brake Wear Gauge Spreadsheet The Brake Wear Gauge Spreadsheet consists of three main parts: 1) Brake Wear Gauge Worksheet • • • • • Select the appropriate truck model from the drop-down box at the top of the page. Print the page. Measure the brake wear on the truck. Note the truck hours at which the wear measurements were taken. Complete the fields shown below. The Worksheet covers all four brakes on the truck. Truck selection drop-down box Truck number and truck hours Name and date Measurements from brake wear gauge Additional comments (if required) © Birrana Engineering Pty Ltd Page 1 of 3 Birrana Engineering 2) Brake Wear Gauge Measurement Log There are four Measurement Logs - one to suit each brake on the truck. Ensure that each log is filled-in as is appropriate. • • • Enter the hours at which the brake group was fitted to the truck. This field only needs to be entered on the first log (for Position 1 wheelend). Enter the minesite truck number. This field only needs to be entered on the first log (for Position 1 wheelend). Enter the truck hours and brake wear measurements, from each completed Worksheet. Truck type. Make sure this is correct Minesite truck number, Brake / wheelend position Estimate of remaining wear Warnings Measurements from brake wear gauge Truck hours when measurements taken Note that there are two warnings that may be shown in the Measurement Log: W1 - Shown if the amount of brake wear remaining is less than 20%. W2 - Shown if the amount of brake wear remaining increases from the previous measurement. If this reversal in brake wear is seen, it may indicate the possibility of warped brake plates. Further investigation may be required. © Birrana Engineering Pty Ltd Page 2 of 3 Birrana Engineering 3) Brake Wear Charts The four charts shown on this page suit each of the four brakes on the truck. © Birrana Engineering Pty Ltd Page 3 of 3
