This SAE Recommended Practice applies to spring-loaded clutches such as are used with manual shift type transmissions.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes equipment and procedures for testing spark arresters used on medium-size, single-position internal combustion engines, normally used in transportable, stationary, and vehicular applications, such as highway trucks, agricultural tractors, industrial tractors, other mobile equipment, and motorcycles. This document provides two methods of testing (laboratory testing and engine testing) which may be used to evaluate a spark arrester. It also includes special requirements for screen type devices and an endurance test procedure for screen type spark arresters.

It is anticipated that this SAE Recommended Practice will be only one step in a comprehensive evaluation of the vehicle/transmission application. This document alone is not adequate “due care” to insure against high-speed seizure or other high-speed problems. The notes printed in bold print throughout the practice convey important information about the test itself or the results and should be considered carefully. All references to transmissions also apply to transaxles, except for the unbalance evaluation which applies only to rear-wheel-drive transmissions with propeller shaft output.

Because of the intense focus on CAFE and fuel emission standards, optimization of the automobile drivetrain is imperative. In light of this, component efficiencies have become an important factor in the drivetrain decision-making process. It has therefore become necessary to develop a universal standard to judge transmission efficiency. This SAE Recommended Practice specifies the dynamometer test procedure which maps a manual transmission’s efficiency. The document is separated into two parts. The first compares input and output torque throughout a specified input speed range in order to determine “in-gear” transmission efficiency. The second procedure measures parasitic losses experienced while in neutral at nominal idling speeds and also churning losses while in gear. The application of this document is intended for passenger car and light truck. All references to transmissions throughout this document include transaxles.

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: a A 1 h soak representing one diurnal cycle in which temperature of fuel in the vehicle’s tank is raised from 15.6 to 28.9 °C (60 to 84 °F) b A 17.9 km (11.1 mile) drive on a chassis dynamometer c A 1 h hot soak immediately following the 17.9 km (11.1 mile) drive The method described in this document, commonly known as the SHED (Sealed Housing for Evaporative Determination) technique, employs an enclosure in which the vehicle is placed during the diurnal and hot soak phases of the test.

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.

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 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.
