Interpreting Results

The Bowmonk VI print out shows the following information:

Date and Time  This is the data and time of the Brake-Test.

Next Cal Date  Date when Bowmonk VI is due for recalibration.

ExaminerIs the person who conducts the test.

Registration  This is the registration or VN number of the vehicle.

Newton’s  The amount of pedal pressure required to stop the vehicle.

Graph  Shows the performance of the vehicle during braking.

Decel Max  Maximum g force during test.

Average Decel  Refers to accumulative g force over duration of test.

Test Duration  Time taken to conduct test.

Speed of the Test  The speed at the start of the Test

Stopping Distance  The distance traveled after applying brakes until vehicle stops.

Stopping Dist (NA)  Maximum Deceleration and extrapolated as if the vehicle were going 20 MPH regardless of the actual Speed of Test.

Performance  Shows brake effort expressed as a percentage

Brake delay  The time lag between the brake control being operated and the instantaneous brake effort.

Slope  Angle during test

Signature  This is the examiners signature.

Company Name  This is optional, see text.

Newton’s Newton's refers to foot pedal pressure.  Approx. 10 Newton’s equals 1kg of force.

Newton ScaleThe top axis on the graph refers to Newton’s.  The scale is adjusted based on the maximum Newton’s.

Newton Graphic  The thin line on the graph refers to the Newton’s or pedal pressure during test.

Max Maximum Newton's during testing.

Pk At peak deceleration the Newton’s or pedal force is measured.

Deceleration  Deceleration is measured by g force.

G Force Scale  The bottom axis on the graph refers to g force.  The scale is adjusted based on the maximum g force.

G Force Graphic  The thick line on the graph refers to the g force or deceleration during testing.

Time Time is shown on the vertical axis and is measured in seconds.

Deceleration Scope
Refer to the Test printout for information.
