Casing credit
A monetary credit a retreader or tire supplier applies toward a purchase in exchange for a returned, inspected casing. The credit amount depends on casing condition and whether it passes the retreader's acceptance inspection.
Real-World Use
A fleet tracking casing credits by axle position finds that trailer casings return fewer accepted casings — tracing the cause to underinflation and adjusting trailer inspection intervals.
