3、7.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the rating of diesel fuel oil in terms of an arbitrary scale of cetane numbersusing a standard single cylinder, four-stroke cycle, variable compression ratio, indirect injected diesel engine.1.2 The cetane number scale covers the range from
4、 zero (0) to 100, but typical testing is in the range of 30 to 65 cetane number.1.3 The values for operating conditions are stated in SI units and are to be regarded as the standard. The values given inparentheses are the historical inch-pound units for information only. In addition, the engine meas
5、urements continue to be ininch-pound units because of the extensive and expensive tooling that has been created for these units.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish
6、 appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.

Summary of Test Method4.1 The cetane number of a diesel fuel oil is determined by comparing its combustion characteristics in a test engine with thosefor blends of reference fuels of known cetane number un
40、der standard operating conditions. This is accomplished using thebracketing handwheel procedure which varies the compression ratio (handwheel reading) for the sample and each of twobracketing reference fuels to obtain a specific ignition delay permitting interpolation of cetane number in terms of ha
41、ndwheelreading.5. Significance and Use5.1 The cetane number provides a measure of the ignition characteristics of diesel fuel oil in compression ignition engines.5.2 This test method is used by engine manufacturers, petroleum refiners and marketers, and in commerce as a primaryspecification measurem
42、ent related to matching of fuels and engines.5.3 Cetane number is determined at constant speed in a precombustion chamber type compression ignition test engine. Therelationship of test engine performance to full scale, variable speed, variable load engines is not completely understood.5.4 This test
43、method may be used for unconventional fuels such as synthetics, vegetable oils, and the like. However, therelationship to the performance of such materials in full scale engines is not completely understood.6. Interferences6.1 (WarningAvoid exposure of sample fuels and reference fuels to sunlight or
44、 fluorescent lamp UV emissions to minimizeinduced chemical reactions that can affect cetane number ratings.)56.1.1 Exposure of these fuels to UV wavelengths shorter than 550 nm for a short period of time may significantly affect cetanenumber ratings.6.2 Certain gases and fumes present in the area wh
45、ere the cetane test engine is located may have a measurable effect on thecetane number test result.6.3 This test method is not suitable for rating diesel fuel oils with fluid properties that interfere with unimpeded gravity flowof fuel to the fuel pump or delivery through the injector nozzle.7.

See Fig. 1 and Table 1.7.2 Instrumentation6,7This test method uses electronic apparatus to measure injection and ignition delay timing as well asconventional thermometry, gages and general purpose meters.7.2.1 Cetane MeterUse of an approved cetane meter is mandatory; only the XCP
49、Cetane Panel or the Dual Digital CetaneMeter or the Mark II Ignition Delay Meter shall be used for this test method.7.3 Reference Fuel Dispensing EquipmentThis test method requires repeated blending of two secondary reference fuelmaterials in volumetric proportions on an as-needed basis. Measurement shall be performed accurately because rating error isproportional to blending error.7.3.1 Volumetric Blending of Reference FuelsVolumetric blending has historically been employed to prepare the requiredblends of reference fuels.
