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.

This SAE Information Report describes various dynamometer driving schedules currently in use in the world for measurement of exhaust emissions and fuel economy of passenger cars and light trucks. Issuance of this information report will allow driving schedules to be deleted from individual test procedures, thus reducing the amount of repeated information in the SAE Handbook. This information report includes: 1 - Descriptions of driving schedules. 2 - Second-by second definition of speed versus time sequences.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes instrumentation for determining the amount of methane in air and exhaust gas.

The method presented is the current recommendation for the use of flame ionization detectors to determine the hydrocarbon content of diesel engine exhaust, or exhaust of vehicles using diesel engines, when operating at steady-state. The requirements of the associated sampling system and a general procedure for a continuous measuring method are presented.

The recommended practice applies to a production dynamometer test procedure which can be used to measure the smoke and gaseous emission characteristics of vehicular diesel engines. This procedure describes the smoke emission test method, smoke test cycle, gaseous emission test method, steady-state gaseous emission test cycle, equipment, instrumentation, calibration, data analysis, and correlation of results for comparison of production engine emission performance to the requirements of current or past Federal regulations. Variations in engines, instrumentation, and test equipment may require modifications to these procedures or data reduction methods. The acceptability of this procedure is dependent upon documented statistical data appropriate to correlate all tests, data reduction techniques, and special instrumentation to the required Federal tests.

This SAE Recommended Practice covers equipment and procedures for general performance and low temperature tests on radial lip type seals for rotating shafts. Three test sections are included: General Performance Test, Alternate General Performance Test, and Low Temperature Test.

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). Historical techniques still used for some purposes are included in the Appendices. A complete procedure for testing vehicles may be found in SAE Recommended Practice J1094, Constant Volume Sampler System for Exhaust Emissions Measurement. This recommended practice includes the following sections: (1) Introduction (2) Definitions and Terminology (3) Emissions Sampling Systems (4) Emissions Analyzers (5) Data Analysis and Reduction (6) Associated Test Equipment (7) Test Procedures (8) Appendices A, B, and C

This SAE Recommended Practice describes instrumentation for determining the amount of methane in air and exhaust gas.

The detailed recommendations have been limited to four metering systems and the associated equipment required to measure diesel engine gas flows at steady-state operating conditions. Accuracy goals are established, and the procedures and equipment are proposed as required to obtain desired measurement accuracy.

This SAE Recommended Practice describes a procedure for measuring evaporative emissions from fuel systems of passenger cars and light trucks. Emissions are measured during a sequence of laboratory tests that simulate typical vehicle usage in a metropolitan area during summer months: 1 A 1 h soak representing one diurnal cycle in which temperature of fuel in the vehicle's tank is raised from 60-84°F (15.6-28.9°C). 2 An 11.1 mile (17.9 km) run on a chassis dynamometer. 3 A 1 h hot soak immediately following the 11.1 mile (17.9 km) run. The method described in this recommended practice for measuring the weight of fuel vapors emitted during the tests differs from that described in SAE J170a (July, 1972). SAE J170a employs activated carbon traps connected to the fuel system at locations where vapors are expected to escape. Vapors from these openings are absorbed by the traps, and the gain in weight of the traps represents the fuel evaporative emissions.

The requirements of the associated sampling system and a general procedure for a continuous measuring method are presented.

The recommended practice applies to a production dynamometer test procedure which can be used to measure the smoke and gaseous emission characteristics of vehicular diesel engines. This procedure describes the smoke emission test method, smoke test cycle, gaseous emission test method, gaseous emission test cycle, equipment, instrumentation, calibration, data analysis, and correlation of results for comparison of production engine emissions performance to the requirements of the Federal regulations. Variations in engines, instrumentation, and test equipment may require modifications to these procedures or data reduction methods. The acceptability of this procedure is dependent upon documented statistical data appropriate to correlate all tests, data reduction techniques, and special instrumentation to the required Federal tests.
