3、vers the quantitativedetermination of the knock rating of liquid spark-ignitionengine fuel in terms of Research O.N., including fuels thatcontain up to 25 % v/v of ethanol. However, this test methodmay not be applicable to fuel and fuel components that areprimarily oxygenates.2The sample fuel is tes
4、ted using astandardized single cylinder, four-stroke cycle, variable com-pression ratio, carbureted, CFR engine run in accordance witha defined set of operating conditions. The O.N. scale is definedby the volumetric composition of PRF blends. The sample fuelknock intensity is compared to that of one
5、 or more PRF blends.The O.N. of the PRF blend that matches the K.I. of the samplefuel establishes the Research O.N.1.2 The O.N. scale covers the range from 0 to 120 octanenumber but this test method has a working range from 40 to120 Research O.N.

Testing of gasoline blend stocks or other process streammaterials can produce ratings at various levels throughout theResearch O.N. range.1.3 The values of operating conditions are stated in SI unitsand are considered standard. The values in parenthes

Summary of Test Method4.1 The Research O.N. of a spark-ignition engine fuel isdetermined using a standard test engine and operating condi-tions to compare its knock characteristic with those of
46、PRFblends of known O.N. Compression ratio and fuel-air ratio areadjusted to produce standard K.I. for the sample fuel, asmeasured by a specific electronic detonation measurementsystem. A standard K.I. guide table relates engine C.R. to O.N.level for this specific method. The fuel-air ratio for the s
47、amplefuel and each of the primary reference fuel blends is adjustedto maximize K.I. for each fuel.4.1.1 The fuel-air ratio for maximum K.I. may be obtained(1) by making incremental step changes in mixture strength,observing the equilibrium K.I. value for each step, and thenselecting the condition th
48、at maximizes the reading or (2)bypicking the maximum K.I. as the mixture strength is changedfrom either rich-to-lean or lean-to-rich at a constant rate.4.2 Bracketing ProceduresThe engine is calibrated tooperate at standard K.I. in accordance with the guide table. Thefuel-air ratio of the sample fue
49、l is adjusted to maximize theK.I., and then the cylinder height is adjusted so that standardK.I. is achieved. Without changing cylinder height, two PRFblends are selected such that, at their fuel-air ratio for maxi-mum K.I., one knocks harder (higher K.I.) and the other softer(lower K.I.) than the sample fuel. A second set of K.I.measurements for sample fuel and PRF blends is required, andthe sample fuel octane number is calculated by interpolation inproportion to the differences in average K.I. readings. A finalcondition requires that the cylinder h
