NEW – Octane Interface Panel

Limitations in Octane Testing

There is a challenge to consistently and accurately test, monitor, and record data for Research and Motor Octane Number methods

Manually collecting, checking, recording:

Barometric pressure

Critical Operating Temperatures

Digital counts

Knock Intensities

Limits productivity, and any errors may result in losses of time and money

Many calculations are based on barometric pressure – where is your certified source?

In an effort to streamline the process, StanCo Scientific’s Octane Interface Panel was developed to improve lab productivity through accurate, semi-automated recording procedures

Features of the Octane Interface Panel

Upgrade package of the SSD9000

Record and monitor three popular rating procedures described by ASTM D2699 & D2700

Bracketing – Equilibrium Fuel Level

Bracketing – Dynamic Fuel Level

Compression Ratio

Real-time temperature display with feedback based on method set-points

Blinking indicators when temperatures are out of range – with added detail if temperatures are too high or too low

Set up for two unit systems

SI Units

Imperial Units

RON/MON operation

Simplified calibration procedures for

temperature, knock intensity, and

cylinder height

Detonation Pickup signal scope

Built-in high accuracy barometer

Barometric correction logic

Procedure A

Bracketing – Equilibrium Fuel Level

Capture fuel KI values at different fuel

levels throughout the testing range to

determine where the peak KI exists

Plot and export data to an Excel file

Prepare multiple fuels to be saved

within the data set

Get a direct reading of the cylinder

height, automatically adjusted for

barometric correction

Generate reports and calculate

octane number

Procedure B

Bracketing – Dynamic Fuel Level

Capture maximum KI values of LRF,

HRF, and Sample on two consecutive

passes

Once a pass is complete, save the

first set of data and complete the

second pass

The interface takes the data from

these two passes and computes the

Octane Number according to the

method

Procedure C

Compression Ratio

Capture separate fuels on one screen

to determine max knock with charted

profile

Cylinder height counter with

automated barometric correction

Capture Octane Number based on

current digital count

Real-time temperature display with

feedback based on method set-points

Blinking indicators when

temperatures are out of range

Diagnostic Monitoring

Monitor temperatures over a period of

time for easier engine diagnosis and

troubleshooting

Catch errors in real-time and be able

to document them

Easily perform a temperature

calibration on PT100 temperature

probes from within the interface setup

pages

Monitor D1 signal

Advantages of the Octane Interface Panel

Visual representation of all desired values in one easily accessible interface

Ability to record and compare multiple fuels for successive runs – run multiple sample fuels that fall within the same reference fuel brackets for increased productivity

Easily capture octane numbers without consulting tables – less room for errors

Freedom to run procedures as usual without software forcing the hand of the operator

Monitor D1-pickup health during engine operation

Verifies functionality during actual testing

No need to remove pickup for testing unless required

Easily switch between methods D2699 and D2700

Setup for all ASTM standard Venturi sizes

Optional higher-accuracy barometers for use as laboratory reference

Ensures more accurate and consistent results

Knockmeter Linearity

Under testing conditions (controlled voltage

input using SSD7000), we found there are

sometimes linearity issues with the analog

meters

The SSD1000 units all performed linearly

and were more consistent than analog

counterparts
