Scope*1.1 This laboratory test method covers

The octane number scaleis defined by the volumetric composition of primary referencefuel blends. The sample fuel knock intensity is compared tothat of one or more primary reference

Summary of Test Method4.1 The Motor O.N. of a
46、 spark-ignition engine fuel isdetermined using a standard test engine and operating condi-tions to compare its knock characteristic with those of 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
47、 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 samplefuel and each of the PRF blends is adjusted to maximize K.I.for each fuel.4.1.1 The fuel-air ratio for maximum K.I. may be obtained(1) by making incr
48、emental step changes in mixture strength,observing the equilibrium K.I. value for each step, and thenselecting the condition which 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 Proce
49、duresThe engine is calibrated tooperate at standard K.I. in accordance with the guide table. Thefuel-air ratio of the sample fuel is adjusted to maximize theK.I., and then the cylinder height is adjusted so that standardK.I. is achieved. Without changing cylinder height, two PRFsare selected such that, at their fuel-air ratio for maximum K.I.,one knocks harder (higher K.I.) and the other softer (lowerK.I.) than the sample fuel. A second set of K.I. measurementsfor sample fuel and reference fuels is required, and the samplefuel O.N. is cal
