2、he year 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 Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This laboratory test meth
3、od covers the quantitative determination of the knock rating of liquid spark-ignition engine fuelin terms of Motor octane number except that number, including fuels that contain up to 25 % v/v of ethanol. However, this testmethod may not be applicable to fuel and fuel components that are primarily o
4、xygenates.2 The sample fuel is tested in astandardized single cylinder, four-stroke cycle, variable compression ratio, carbureted, CFR engine run in accordance with adefined set of operating conditions. The octane number scale is defined by the volumetric composition of primary reference fuelblends.
5、 The sample fuel knock intensity is compared to that of one or more primary reference fuel blends. The octane number ofthe primary reference fuel blend that matches the knock intensity of the sample fuel establishes the Motor octane number.1.2 The octane number scale covers the range from 0 to 120 o
6、ctane number, but this test method has a working range from 40to 120 octane number. Typical commercial fuels produced for automotive spark-ignition engines rate in the 80 to 90 Motor octanenumber range. Typical commercial fuels produced for aviation spark-ignition engines rate in the 98 to 102 Motor
7、 octane numberrange.Testing of gasoline blend stocks or other process stream materials can produce ratings at various levels throughout the Motoroctane number range.1.3 The values of operating conditions are stated in SI units and are considered standard. The values in parentheses are thehistorical
8、inch-pounds units. The standardized CFR engine measurements continue to be in inch-pound units only because of theextensive and expensive tooling that has been created for this equipment.1.4 WARNINGMercury has been designated by many regulatory agencies as a hazardous material that can cause central
