Deceleration
Deceleration is a measure of the performance of a
braking system. It is specified as the percentage ratio
of braking force to weight.

Out-of-roundness
The pedal force is kept constant. The BSA 42xx mea-
sures the resultant minimum and maximum braking
force. The out-of-roundness is calculated as follows:
