The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish reference standards for airflow measurements in the ranges required for testing automotive engine induction systems and to describe equipment that will facilitate the use of such standards to check the accuracy of various equipment and methods.

This document specifies the procedure to be used for a manufacturer to certify the net power and torque rating of a production engine according to SAE J1349 (Rev. 8/04) or the gross engine power of a production engine according to SAE J1995. Manufacturers who advertise their engine power and torque ratings as Certified to SAE J1349 or SAE J1995 shall follow this procedure. Certification of engine power and torque to SAE J1349 or SAE J1995 is voluntary, however, this power certification process is mandatory for those advertising power ratings as “Certified to SAE J1349”. In the event that an engine made by one manufacturer is sold to a consumer in a vehicle produced by a second manufacturer, engine certification may be completed by either manufacturer or by both manufacturers working together. An example of the latter would be the completion of witness testing by the engine manufacturer with the submission of certification documents by the vehicle manufacturer.

This test document is applicable to all superchargers not requiring fuel to be added to the inlet air prior to the supercharger. This SAE Standard only applies to bench testing. Any maximum speed, temperature, and pressure ratios supplied by the manufacturer should be for this use only and may not apply to applications of firing engines. This document has been adopted by SAE to specify: a A standard basis for supercharger efficiency rating b Reference inlet air supply test conditions c A method for correcting observed efficiency to reference conditions d A method for presenting these results in an accurate and usable way e A method to compare superchargers without the affects of engine dynamics and intercooling
