Summa

35、ry of Test Method4.1 The cetane number of a diesel fuel oil is determined bycomparing its combustion characteristics in a test engine withthose for blends of reference fuels of known cetane numberunder standard operating conditions. This is accomplishedusing the bracketing handwheel procedure which

36、varies thecompression ratio (handwheel reading) for the sample and eachof two bracketing reference fuels to obtain a specific ignitiondelay permitting interpolation of cetane number in terms ofhandwheel reading.5. Significance and Use5.1 The cetane number provides a measure of the ignitioncharacteri

37、stics of diesel fuel oil in compression ignition en-gines.5.2 This test method is used by engine manufacturers,petroleum refiners and marketers, and in commerce as aprimary specification measurement related to matching of fuelsand engines.5.3 Cetane number is determined at constant speed in aprecomb

38、ustion chamber type compression ignition test engine.The relationship of test engine performance to full scale,variable speed, variable load engines is not completely under-stood.5.4 This test method may be used for unconventional fuelssuch as synthetics, vegetable oils, and the like. However, there

39、lationship to the performance of such materials in full scaleengines is not completely understood.6. Interferences6.1 (WarningAvoid exposure of sample fuels and refer-ence fuels to sunlight or fluorescent lamp UV emissions tominimize induced chemical reactions that can affect cetanenumber ratings.)5

40、6.1.1 Exposure of these fuels to UV wavelengths shorterthan 550 nm for a short period of time may significantly affectcetane number ratings.6.2 Certain gases and fumes present in the area where thecetane test engine is located may have a measurable effect onthe cetane number test result.6.3 This tes

41、t method is not suitable for rating diesel fuel oilswith fluid properties that interfere with unimpeded gravity flowof fuel to the fuel pump or delivery through the injector nozzle.7. Apparatus7.1 Engine Equipment6,7This test method uses a singlecylinder engine which consists of a standard crankcase

42、 withfuel pump assembly, a cylinder with separate head assembly ofthe precombustion type, thermal syphon recirculating jacketcoolant system, multiple fuel tank system with selectorvalving, injector assembly with specific injector nozzle, elec-trical controls, and a suitable exhaust pipe. The engine

43、is beltconnected to a special electric power-absorption motor whichacts as a motor driver to start the engine and as a means toabsorb power at constant speed when combustion is occurring(engine firing). See Fig. 1 and Table 1.7.2 Instrumentation6,7This test method uses electronicapparatus to measure

44、 injection and ignition delay timing aswell as conventional thermometry, gages and general purposemeters.7.2.1 Cetane MeterUse of an approved cetane meter ismandatory; only the XCP Cetane Panel or the Dual DigitalCetane Meter or the Mark II Ignition Delay Meter shall be usedfor this test method.7.3

45、Reference Fuel Dispensing EquipmentThis testmethod requires repeated blending of two secondary referencefuel materials in volumetric proportions on an as-needed basis.Measurement shall be performed accurately because ratingerror is proportional to blending error.7.3.1 Volumetric Blending of Referenc

46、e FuelsVolumetricblending has historically been employed to prepare the re-quired blends of reference fuels. For volumetric blending, a setof two burets or accurate volumetric ware shall be used and thedesired batch quantity shall be collected in an appropriatecontainer and thoroughly mixed before b

47、eing introduced to theengine fuel system.7.3.1.1 Calibrated burets or volumetric ware having a ca-pacity of 400 mL or 500 mL and a maximum volumetrictolerance of 60.2 % shall be used. Calibration shall be verifiedin accordance with Practice E542.7.3.1.2 Calibrated burets shall be outfitted with a di

48、spensingvalve and delivery tip to accurately control dispensed volume.The delivery tip shall be of such size and design that shutoff tipdischarge does not exceed 0.5 mL.7.3.1.3 The rate of delivery from the dispensing systemshall not exceed 500 mL per 60 s.7.3.1.4 The set of burets for the reference

49、 and standardiza-tion fuels shall be installed in such a manner and be suppliedwith fluids such that all components of each batch or blend aredispensed at the same temperature.7.3.1.5 See Appendix X1, Volumetric Reference FuelBlending Apparatus and Procedures, for typical dispensingsystem information.5Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:D02-1502.6The sole source of supply of the engine equipment and instrumentation knownto the committee at this time is
