What is a brake chamber that includes both service brake and spring brake sections called?

  1. Service brake chamber

  2. Spring brake chamber

  3. Hydraulic brake chamber

  4. Dual brake chamber

The correct answer is: Spring brake chamber

A spring brake chamber is a brake chamber that includes both service brake and spring brake sections. A service brake chamber has a single diaphragm for applying the brakes, while a spring brake chamber has both a service brake section and a spring brake section for parking. A hydraulic brake chamber is used in systems that use hydraulic pressure to activate the brakes. A dual brake chamber is a type of brake chamber that has two separate sections, typically used for heavy duty vehicles to improve braking performance. However, a spring brake chamber, as the name suggests, incorporates both service and spring brakes, making it the correct answer in this case.
