CURRENT

J254_201106

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform laboratory techniques for the continuous and bag-sample measurement of various constituents in the exhaust gas of the gasoline engines installed in passenger cars and light-duty trucks. The report concentrates on the measurement of the following components in exhaust gas: hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). NOx is the sum of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). A complete procedure for testing vehicles may be found in SAE J1094. This document includes the following sections: 1. Scope 2. References 3. Emissions Sampling Systems 4. Emissions Analyzers 5. Data Analysis 6. Associated Test Equipment 7. Test Procedures

DIESEL SMOKE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

1973-01-01

HISTORICAL

J35_197301

The recommended practice applies to the dynamometer test procedure which can be used to assess the smoke emission characteristics of vehicular diesel engines. In particular, these procedures describe the smoke emissions test, smoke test cycle, equipment and instrumentation, instrument checks, and chart reading and calculation, for evaluation of an engine’s steady-state and transient smoke emission characteristics. A full-flow smoke opacimeter as opposed to other types of smokemeters is required because the test is designed to monitor transient smoke. Sampling type instruments have an excessive and variable delay and do not provide an accurate measurement of the engine’s transient smoke output. An Appendix shows that the Beer-Lambert law can be used to correlate opacity measurements with different meter path lengths. Additional or modified test conditions may be requested when this recommended practice is cited in a request for a smoke assessment.

DIESEL SMOKE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

HISTORICAL

J35_198809

The recommended practice applies to the dynamometer test procedure which can be used to assess the smoke emission characteristics of vehicular diesel engines. In particular, this procedure describes the smoke test cycle, equipment and instrumentation, instrument checks, chart reading and calculation for evaluation of an engine’s transient smoke emission characteristic. In addition, this procedure offers guidelines to be used in establishing correlation between full flow in-line and end-of-line opacimeters. Since the type of test described here is transient in nature, a fast responding full flow opacimeter is required for the smoke measurements. Slow responding or sampling, or both, type instruments must not be used since they typically have excessive and variable response delays and do not provide an accurate measurement of an engine’s transient smoke characteristics.
