OSHA Regulations

Single piece rim wheel means the assemblage of single piece rim wheel with the tire and other
components.
Single piece wheel means a vehicle wheel consisting of one part, designed to hold the tire on the
wheel when the tire is inflated.
Trajectory means any potential path or route that a rim wheel component may travel during an
explosive separation, or the sudden release of the pressurized air, or an area at which an airblast
from a single piece rim wheel may be released. The trajectory may deviate from paths which are
perpendicular to the assembled position of the rim wheel at the time of separation or explosion.
(See appendix A for examples of trajectories.)
Wheel means that portion of a rim wheel which provides the method of attachment of the assem-
bly to the axle of a vehicle and also provides the means to contain the inflated portion of the
assembly (i.e., the tire and/or tube).
