This standard covers glycol-type compounds which, when added to engine cooling systems at concentrations of 50 - 70% by volume of coolant concentrate in water, provide corrosion protection, lower the freezing point, and raise the boiling point of the coolant. Such compounds are intended for a minimum of 1 year (approximately 12 000 miles) service in a properly maintained cooling system. (Reference: SAE HS-40, Maintenance of Automotive Engine Cooling. Systems.) Coolants meeting this standard do not require the use of supplementary materials. For additional information on engine coolants, see SAE J814. Heavy-duty non-automotive and heavy-duty diesel engine coolant maintenance may require different measurement and test parameters due to differences in engine design and materials, and high mileage service requirements.
