Rolling Resistance Coefficient Examples
Table of rolling resistance coefficient examples:
| Crr | b | Description |
| 0.0003 to 0.0004 | "Pure rolling resistance" Railroad steel wheel on steel rail | |
| 0.0010 to 0.0024 | 0.5 mm | Railroad steel wheel on steel rail. Passenger rail car about 0.0020 |
| 0.001 to 0.0015 | 0.1 mm | Hardened steel ball bearings on steel |
| 0.0019 to 0.0065 | Mine car cast iron wheels on steel rail | |
| 0.0022 to 0.005 | Production bicycle tires at 120 psi (8.3 bar) and 50 km/h (31 mph), measured on rollers | |
| 0.0025 | Special Michelin solar car/eco-marathon tires | |
| 0.005 | Dirty tram rails (standard) with straights and curves | |
| 0.0045 to 0.008 | Large truck (Semi) tires | |
| 0.0055 | Typical BMX bicycle tires used for solar cars | |
| 0.0062 to 0.015 | Car tire measurements | |
| 0.010 to 0.015 | Ordinary car tires on concrete | |

| 0.3 | Ordinary car tires on sand |
For example, in earth gravity, a car of 1000 kg on asphalt will need a force of around 100 newtons for rolling (1000 kg × 9.81 m/s2 × 0.01 = 98.1 N).

Famous quotes containing the words rolling, resistance and/or examples:
“Look, we’re all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house—in the bedroom he’s asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he’s rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he’s paying his taxes, in the yard he’s raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he’s making a bomb to blow it all up.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.”
—Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
