This SAE Recommended Practice is intended for use as a test procedure to determine the gaseous emission levels of diesel engines. Its purpose is to provide a map of an engine's emissions characteristics which, through use of the proper weighting factors, can be used as a measure of that engine's emission levels under various applications. The emission results for hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide are expressed in units of grams per kilowatt hour (grams/brake horsepower hour) and represent the mass rate of emissions per unit of work accomplished. The emissions are measured in accordance with SAE Recommended Practices J177, J215, and J244 using nondispersive infrared equipment for CO and CO2, a heated flame ionization analyzer for HC, and a high performance NDIR or a chemiluminescence analyzer for NOx. All emissions are measured during steady-state engine operation.
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.

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 recommended practice applies to nomenclature of emissions and emissions reduction apparatus as applied to various engines and vehicles. Modifying adjectives are omitted in some cases for the sake of simplicity. However, it is considered good practice to use such adjectives when they add to clarity and understanding.

Measurement of diesel smoke in an accurate and consistent manner has been a serious problem for engine and vehicle manufacturers, users, and agencies charged with enforcing smoke limits. Several instruments, based on different principles and using different scales, are commonly used. In addition to these, human observation and judgment are often used to relate smoke to a variety of standards. The purpose of this SAE Information Report is to provide an understanding of the nature of diesel smoke, how it can be measured, and how the various measurement methods can be correlated. Except for defining the various types of smoke, the report deals solely with the steady-state measurement of visible, black smoke emitted from diesel engines. For the benefit of those who wish to study various aspects of the subject in greater depth, a list of useful references is included in Section 2. This document is divided into the following sections:

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.

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 hr soak representing one diurnal cycle in which temperature of fuel in the vehicle’s tank is raised from 60 to 84 F. 2 A 7 mile run on a chassis dynamometer. 3 A 1 hr hot soak immediately following the 7 mile 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 J170. SAE J170 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.
