3、overs 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 fuel
4、 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 inte
5、nsity 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 met
6、hod 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 of
7、 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 standardi

Summary of Test Method4.1 The Motor O.N. of a spark-ignition engine fuel isdetermined using a standard test engine and operating condi-tions to compare its knock characteristic with thos
47、e 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 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
48、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 incremental step changes in mixture strength,observing the equilibrium K.I. value for each step, and thenselecting the condition which maximizes
49、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 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
