To measure the performance characteristics of Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT). It outlines dynamometer tests that cover the range of operation and provides a method of presenting the test data. This procedure must be followed with similar test facilities so that results obtained from different laboratories are comparable.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes equipment and test procedures for determining the performance of spark arrester exhaust systems of multiposition small engines (<19 kW) used in portable applications, including hand-held, hand-guided, and backpack mounted devices. It is not applicable to spark arresters used in vehicles or stationary equipment.

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 procedure establishes recommendations on the measurement of diesel engine intake air flow under steady-state test conditions. The measurement methods discussed have been limited to metering systems and associated equipment found in common usage in the industry, specifically, nozzles, laminar flow devices, and vortex shedding. The procedure establishes accuracy goals as well as explains proper usage of equipment. The recommendations concerning diesel engine exhaust mass flow measurements are minimal in scope.

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.

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 Recommended Practice establishes equipment and procedures for the evaluation of the effectiveness and other performance characteristics of spark arresters or turbochargers used on the exhaust system of large engines normally used in a railroad locomotive, stationary power plant, and other similar applications. This document does not cover applications requiring flame arresting, exhaust gas cooling, or isolation from explosive gases. Two test methods are presented: a laboratory test using ambient air (cold test) and an engine test using exhaust gases (hot test). The hot test is preferred. Arresters tested by the provisions of this document can be expected to perform as tested when tilted no more than 45 degrees from their normal position. Test results from a spark arrester or turbocharger evaluated by the hot test can be applied to different engines of similar design, provided the data shows it to be effective in the applicable flow ranges.
