What is the minimum thickness for regular brake linings to pass inspection?

The minimum thickness for regular brake linings to pass inspection is 2/32 inch. This standard is based on safety regulations aimed at ensuring that brake systems maintain adequate performance. When brake linings are worn down to 2/32 inch, they are generally considered to be at the minimum level where they can effectively create sufficient friction for stopping the vehicle safely. Going below this thickness can lead to decreased braking efficiency, increasing the risk of accidents.

It is important to regularly check brake linings and replace them before they reach this critical thickness to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Inspections are conducted to verify that this standard is met, and if the linings are thinner than the specified measurement, further action would be necessary to avoid potential brake failure.
