本SAE标准涵盖了基于二醇、乙二醇酯和适当抑制剂的非石油类机动车制动液，用于任何机动车（如乘用车、卡车、公共汽车或拖车）的制动系统。这些液体不适合在北极条件下使用。这些液体设计用于配有橡胶杯和密封件的制动系统，橡胶杯和密封件由苯乙烯-丁二烯橡胶（SBR）或乙烯、丙烯和二烯烃（EPDM）的三元共聚物制成。

This SAE Standard covers motor vehicle brake fluids of the nonpetroleum type, based upon glycols, glycolethers, and appropriate inhibitors, for use in the braking system of any motor vehicle such as a passenger car, truck, bus, or trailer. These fluids are not intended for use under arctic conditions. These fluids are designed for use in braking systems fitted with rubber cups and seals made from styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), or a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, and a diene (EPDM).
