B Pillar Study, Front Automotive Components Division Loads 1350 N is applied through the indentor to a size 200x80mm in the middle 1350 N is applied through the indentor to a size 100x80mm in both the edges respectively. As an worst case scenario a load of 1350N is applied on both the ends simultaneously. ENVIRONMENT –U553-U554 PDS Job#: 8748 CONFIDENTIAL
