1、Designation: D2700 18aDesignation: 236/87Standard Test Method forMotor Octane Number of Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2700; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year
2、of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This laboratory test method
3、covers the quantitativedetermination of the knock rating of liquid spark-ignitionengine fuel in terms of Motor octane number, including fuelsthat contain up to 25 % v/v of ethanol. However, this testmethod may not be applicable to fuel and fuel components thatare primarily oxygenates.2The sample fue
4、l is tested in astandardized single cylinder, four-stroke cycle, variable com-pression ratio, carbureted, CFR engine run in accordance witha defined set of operating conditions. The octane number scaleis defined by the volumetric composition of primary referencefuel blends. The sample fuel knock int
5、ensity is compared tothat of one or more primary reference fuel blends. The octanenumber of the primary reference fuel blend that matches theknock intensity of the sample fuel establishes the Motor octanenumber.1.2 The octane number scale covers the range from 0 to 120octane number, but this test me
6、thod has a working range from40 to 120 octane number. Typical commercial fuels producedfor automotive spark-ignition engines rate in the 80 to 90Motor octane number range. Typical commercial fuels pro-duced for aviation spark-ignition engines rate in the 98 to 102Motor octane number range. Testing o
7、f gasoline blend stocksor other process stream materials can produce ratings at variouslevels throughout the Motor octane number range.1.3 The values of operating conditions are stated in SI unitsand are considered standard. The values in parentheses are thehistorical inch-pounds units. The standard
8、ized CFR enginemeasurements continue to be in inch-pound units only becauseof the extensive and expensive tooling that has been created forthis equipment.1.4 For purposes of determining conformance with allspecified limits in this standard, an observed value or acalculated value shall be rounded “to
9、 the nearest unit” in thelast right-hand digit used in expressing the specified limit, inaccordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard
10、to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.For more specific hazard statements, see Section 8, 14.4.1,15.5.1, 16.6.1, Annex A1, A2.2.3.1, A2.2.3.3(6) and (9),A2.3.5, X3.3.7, X4.2.3.1, X4.3.4.1, X4.3.9.
