Brake Disc Wear Inspection in Bangladesh
One of the most important components of the car’s safe movement is the brake system. Among them, the disc brake or disc rotor is a main component, which helps to stop the rotating wheel from slipping. Over time, wear occurs on this brake disk, which, if it goes beyond the specified limit, creates the risk of an accident. That’s why regular brake disc wear inspection is very important, especially in a congested and inadequate road management country like Bangladesh.
Brake disk inspection is a process, through which the presence of dirt, cracks, stains, distortion or excess damage is checked on the disk. This is usually done by visual observation, micrometer or vernier caliper measurement and special equipment.
Bangladesh’s application and relevance
1. Public transportation
Brake disk inspection is still limited in the regular maintenance of buses, trucks and other heavy vehicles in Bangladesh. However, to avoid accidents, it is necessary to make it mandatory.
2. Private vehicles
Although the car owners are aware, many people do not care about changing the brake pad with the disk inspection.
3. Workshop and Service Center
Branded workshops and automobile service centers are now offering brake disc inspection services with modern measuring instruments. However, this facility is limited in general workshops.
4. Ride sharing and delivery service
Due to the lack of brake disc inspection in the bike and ride-sharing sector, the accident rate is increasing, which can be reduced through controlled maintenance.
Inspection system
Thickness Measurement: Caliper measures the thickness and compares it with the limit set by the manufacturer.
Benefits
- Safe and effective braking assurance
- Reduced risk of accidents
- Increase the life of car parts
- Long-term cost reduction through regular maintenance
Bangladesh’s challenging environment
- Lack of sufficiently trained technicians
- Absence of modern equipment in rural workshops
- Lack of awareness
- Cost save inspection skip
Future possibility
With the expansion of the automobile industry in Bangladesh and the increase in the number of vehicles, the importance of brake disc inspection will increase. Government regulations, driver training and the establishment of modern workshops are possible to improve this sector.
If Bangladesh’s awareness and enforcement are increased, the accident rate will decrease and car maintenance will be more effective. This is not only personal security, but also a national security issue.
