OTR Inflation Management and Measurement Discipline explains the operating evidence, measurements and asset details needed to evaluate this tyre topic consistently across a fleet or worksite.

Keep Every Value in Context

OTR Inflation Management and Measurement Discipline is clearest when each value can be traced to a position, a method and the duty at that moment.

OTR Inflation Management and Measurement Discipline requires load, pressure, speed, distance, time and temperature observations to share the same asset, position and operating period. A value without cold/hot state, device, unit or timestamp cannot be compared reliably.

OTR Inflation Management and Measurement Discipline — Field Data Sheet

Record raw values before calculating averages. Keep the source of target values separate from field readings and note any change in route, payload or ambient conditions.

Position

Machine or vehicle, axle, wheel and tyre identity.

Movement

Distance, travel time, average speed and waiting time.

Reference

Current OEM or tyre technical table used in the evaluation.

Measurement and Comparison

  1. Define the operating cycle and measurement points.
  2. Check instrument identity and unit before the shift.
  3. Capture load and movement data for the same cycle.

What the Series Shows

Keep OTR Inflation Management and Measurement Discipline with the asset history so a duty, position or condition change can be followed across shifts.
