The guidelines in this SAE Information Report are directed at laboratory engine dynamometer test procedures with alternative fuels, and they are applicable to four-stroke and two-stroke cycle spark ignition (SI) and diesel (CI) engines (naturally aspirated or pressure charged, with or without charge air cooling). A brief overview of investigations with some alternative fuels can be found in SAE J1297. Other SAE documents covering vehicle, engine, or component testing may be affected by use of alternative fuels. Some of the documents that may be affected can be found in Appendix A. Guidelines are provided for the engine power test code (SAE J1349) in Appendix D. The principles of these guidelines may apply to other procedures and codes, but the effects have not been investigated. The report is organized into four technical sections, each dealing with an important aspect of testing or reporting of results when using alternative fuels.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to all types of reciprocating engines including two-stroke cycle and free piston engines, and was prepared to facilitate clear understanding and promote uniformity in nomenclature. Modifying adjectives in some cases were omitted for simplicity. However, it is good practice to use adjectives when they add to clarity and understanding.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides information on procedures, tools, and fixtures useful in determining frictional torque measurement of radial lip oil seals. Information on the effect of various operational environments on oil seals are discussed and a means of calculation of power consumption of seals is provided.

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.

The classification system provides a means for specifying or describing pertinent properties of commercial nonmetallic gasket materials. Materials composed of asbestos, cork, cellulose, and other organic or inorganic materials in combination with various binders or impregnants are included. Materials normally classified as rubber compounds are not included, since they are covered in SAE J200—ASTM D 2000. Gasket coatings are not covered, since details thereof are intended to be given on engineering drawings or in separate specifications.

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 document will allow driving schedules to be deleted from individual test procedures, thus reducing the amount of repeated information in the SAE Handbook. This document includes: a. Descriptions of driving schedules; and b. Second-by second definition of speed versus time sequences.

Materials composed of asbestos, cork cellulose, and other organic or inorganic materials in combination with various binders or impregnants are included. Materials normally classified as rubber compounds are not included, since they are covered in SAE J200 - ASTM D 2000. Gasket coatings are not covered, since details thereof are intended to be given on engineering drawings or in separate specifications.
