Petroleum products — Calculation of cetane index of middle-distillate fuels by the four-variable equation
Describes a procedure for the calculation of the cetane index of middle-destillates from petroleum by the four-variable equation. Is not applicable to fuels containing additives for raising the cetane number nor to pure hydrocarbons and distillate fuels derived from coal.
Produits pétroliers — Calcul de l'indice de cétane des distillats moyens par équation à quatre variables
La présente Norme internationale décrit une méthode de calcul de l'indice de cétane des distillats moyens de différentes provenances pétrolières. La valeur obtenue est appelée indice de cétane calculé par équation à quatre variables. Tout au long du texte de la présente Norme internationale, le terme «indice de cétane» est employé pour désigner l'indice de cétane calculé par équation à quatre variables. La présente Norme internationale n'est pas applicable aux combustibles contenant des additifs destinés à améliorer l'indice de cétane, ni aux hydrocarbures purs, ni aux distillats issus de la houille. Elle est applicable aux combustibles contenant des produits non pétroliers dérivés des schistes bitumineux ou des sables bitumineux. NOTES 1 À l'origine, la présente Norme internationale a été développée en utilisant une matrice de combustibles, dont certains contenaient des produits non pétroliers dérivés des schistes bitumineux et des sables bitumineux. Depuis, d'autres équations de calcul de l'indice de cétane ont été développées qui sont mieux susceptibles d'être applicables aux produits issus des sables bitumineux. 2 L'indice de cétane calculé n'est pas une notion de remplacement de l'indice de cétane mesuré. Il s'agit d'un outil supplémentaire à utiliser en tenant compte de ses limites. 3 L'indice de cétane calculé est utilisé pour estimer l'indice de cétane mesuré d'un gasoil moteur quand il n'est pas possible d'effectuer un essai moteur, soit qu'il n'y ait pas de moteu 1274r disponible, soit que la quantité de l'échantillon disponible soit insuffisante. Dans les cas où une mesure d'indice de cétane d'un combustible a été effectuée auparavant, le calcul peut être effectué pour vérifier l'indice de cétane mesuré sur des échantillons ultérieurs de ce combustible, étant entendu que l'origine et le mode de fabrication de ce combustible restent inchangés. Le domaine recommandé des propriétés d'un combustible pour l'application de la prés

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take patt in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(1 EC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 4264 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants.
