WARNING The use of this standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
This European Standard specifies a test method for the quantitative determination of ignition and combustion delays of middle distillate fuels intended for use in compression ignition engines. The method utilizes a constant volume combustion chamber with direct fuel injection into heated, compressed synthetic air. A dynamic pressure wave is produced from the combustion of the product under test. An equation is given to calculate the derived cetane number (DCN) from the ignition and combustion delays determined from the dynamic pressure curve.
This standard is applicable to middle distillate fuels, fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and blends of diesel fuels and FAME .The method is also applicable to middle distillate fuels of non-petroleum origin, oil-sands based fuels, blends of fuel containing biodiesel material, diesel fuel oils containing cetane number improver additives and low-sulfur diesel fuel oils. However, users applying this standard especially to unconventional distillate fuels are warned that the relationship between derived cetane number and combustion behaviour in real engines is not yet fully understood.
This standard covers the ignition delay range from 2,47 ms to 4,09 ms and combustion delay from 3,71 ms to 6,74 ms (67 DCN to 39 DCN).
NOTE 1   The combustion analyser can measure shorter or longer ignition and combustion delays, but precision is not known.
NOTE 2   There is no information about how DCNs outside the 67 to 39 range compares to EN ISO 5165.
NOTE 3   For the purpose of this European Standard, the expression (% (V/V)) is used to represent the volume fraction (φ), and (% (m/m)) the mass fraction (ω).

Ta evropski standard določa preskusno metodo za kvantitativno ugotavljanje zakasnitve vžiga v srednje destilatnih gorivih, namenjenih za uporabo v motorjih s kompresijskim vžigom. Pri tej metodi se uporablja komora s konstantno prostornino z direktnim injiciranjem goriva v segret in stisnjen sintetičen zrak. Med sežigom preskušanega izdelka nastane dinamičen tlačni val. Enačba pretvori zakasnitev vžiga in sežiga, ki se določi na podlagi krivulje dinamičnega tlaka, v izpeljano cetansko število (DCN). Ta metoda se uporablja za dizelska goriva, vključno z gorivi, ki vsebujejo metilne estre maščobnih kislin (FAME). Metoda se uporablja tudi za srednje destilatna goriva nenaftnega izvora, čeprav so uporabniki tega standarda opozorjeni, da povezava med lastnostmi vžiga in zmogljivostjo motorja pri nekonvencionalnih gorivih še ni v celoti pojasnjena. Standard zajema obseg zakasnitve vžiga od 2,8 ms do 6,5 ms in zakasnitve sežiga od 5,5 ms do 120 ms (65 DCN do 30 DCN). Vendar navedena točnost zajema le razpon od 60 do 35 DCN.

Overview

EN 16715:2015 is a CEN European Standard that specifies a laboratory test method to determine ignition delay (ID), combustion delay (CD) and the derived cetane number (DCN) of middle distillate fuels. The method uses a constant volume combustion chamber with direct fuel injection into heated, compressed synthetic air and records the dynamic pressure wave produced during combustion. The standard covers conventional diesel fuels, FAME (fatty acid methyl esters), blends of diesel and biodiesel, non‑petroleum middle distillates and other unconventional distillates, while noting limitations in how DCN relates to real engine behaviour for some fuel types.

Key topics and requirements

  • Test principle: Inject a test portion into a constant volume combustion chamber; measure dynamic pressure to determine ID and CD from the injector electronic signal and the pressure trace.
  • Measurement definitions:
    • Ignition delay (ID) - time from injector signal rise to start of combustion.
    • Combustion delay (CD) - time from injector signal rise to the pressure‑curve midpoint.
  • Test sequence: 5 preliminary injection cycles followed by 15 analysed cycles; outliers are removed using Peirce’s Criterion and remaining results are averaged.
  • Calibration & verification: Uses a calibration reference fluid (40:60 mass mix of hexadecane and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8‑heptamethylnonane). Assigned ARV values for peroxide‑free material: ID = 2.96 ms, CD = 4.90 ms.
  • Applicable range & precision: ID range 2.47 ms to 4.09 ms and CD range 3.71 ms to 6.74 ms (corresponding approx. to DCN 67 to 39). The standard notes that the combustion analyser may measure outside this range but precision is unknown and there is limited information on comparison with EN ISO 5165 for DCNs outside 39–67.
  • Safety: WARNING - the standard involves hazardous materials and equipment. Users must establish appropriate safety and regulatory practices.

Applications and who uses it

  • Engine manufacturers - fuel matching, combustion research, and design validation for compression‑ignition engines.
  • Petroleum refiners and fuel marketers - quality control, product development and specification compliance.
  • Test laboratories and research institutes - routine DCN/ID/CD measurement, validation of alternative fuels (FAME, bio‑derived distillates), and correlation studies with engine performance.
  • Regulatory and standards bodies - interchangeability and fuel quality assessment programs.

Related standards

  • EN ISO 5165 - conventional large‑scale cetane number engine test (used for correlation).
  • EN ISO 3170 / 3171 - sampling standards referenced for fuel sampling.
  • IP 537 - related to purity determination of DCN reference materials.

The SIST EN 16715:2015 is a European Standard that outlines a test method for determining the ignition delay of middle distillate fuels used in compression ignition engines. The method involves using a constant volume combustion chamber with direct fuel injection into heated, compressed synthetic air. By analyzing the dynamic pressure curve produced during combustion, the ignition delay and combustion delay can be determined. These values can then be converted into a derived cetane number (DCN) using a specific equation. The method is suitable for diesel fuels, including those containing FAME, as well as non-petroleum middle distillate fuels. However, it should be noted that the relationship between ignition characteristics and engine performance in unconventional fuels is not fully understood. The standard covers an ignition delay range of 2.8 ms to 6.5 ms and a combustion delay range of 5.5 ms to 120 ms (equivalent to 65 DCN to 30 DCN). The precision of the method is specified within the range of 60 to 35 DCN.
