Petroleum products - Determination of knock characteristics of motor and aviation fuels - Motor method (ISO 5163:2005)

This International Standard establishes the rating of liquid spark-ignition engine fuel in terms of an arbitrary scale of octane numbers using a standard single-cylinder, four-stroke cycle, variable-compression ratio, carburetted, CFR engine operated at constant speed. Motor octane number (MON) provides a measure of the knock characteristics of motor fuels in automotive engines under severe conditions of operation. The motor octane number provides a measure of the knock characteristics of aviation fuels in aviation piston engines, by using an equation to correlate to aviation-method octane number or performance number (lean-mixture aviation rating). This International Standard is applicable for the entire scale range from 0 MON to 120 MON, but the working range is 40 MON to 120 MON. Typical motor fuel testing is in the range of 80 MON to 90 MON. Typical aviation fuel testing is in the range of 98 MON to 102 MON. This International Standard can be used for oxygenate-containing fuels containing up to 4,0 % (m/m) oxygen. Certain gases and fumes, such as halogenated refrigerants used in air-conditioning equipment that can be present in the area where the CFR engine is located, may have a measurable effect on the MON rating. Electrical power transient voltage or frequency surges or distortion can affect MON ratings.

Mineralölerzeugnisse - Bestimmung der Klopffestigkeit von Otto- und Flugkraftstoffen - Motor-Verfahren (ISO 5163:2005)

Diese Internationale Norm legt die Bestimmung der Klopffestigkeit von Kraftstoffen für Ottomotoren fest,
angegeben nach einer vereinbarten Skala von Octanzahlen, und zwar unter Verwendung eines genormten
CFR-Motors (Viertakt, Einzylinder, Vergaser, variables Verdichtungsverhältnis), der bei konstanter
Geschwindigkeit betrieben wird. Die Motor-Octanzahl (MOZ) ist ein Maß für die Klopffestigkeit von Kraftstoffen
für Ottomotoren unter schweren Betriebsbedingungen. Für Kolben-Verbrennungsmotoren für den Flugbetrieb
erlaubt die Motor-Octanzahl (MOZ) eine Bestimmung der Klopffestigkeit, indem mit einer Gleichung die
Korrelation zur Octanzahl für den Flugbetrieb (?Aviation Method?) bzw. zur Leistungszahl (?lean mixture
aviation rating?) hergestellt wird.
Diese Internationale Norm ist anwendbar auf den gesamten Bereich von 0 MOZ bis 120 MOZ, der
Arbeitsbereich ist jedoch 40 MOZ bis 120 MOZ. Der typische Bereich zur Bewertung von Otto-Kraftstoffen ist
80 MOZ bis 90 MOZ. Der typische Bereich zur Bewertung von Flugkraftstoffen ist 98 MOZ bis 102 MOZ.
Diese Internationale Norm kann für Kraftstoffe mit sauerstoffhaltigen Komponenten bis zu einem Gehalt an
Sauerstoff von 4 % (m/m) angewandt werden.
Bestimmte Gase und Dämpfe, wie halogenierte Kühlmittel aus Klimaanlagen, die in der Umgebung des CFR-Motors
anwesend sein können, können einen messbaren Effekt auf die MOZ-Bestimmung haben. Elektrische
Spannungs- oder Frequenzstörungen können die MOZ-Bestimmungen auch beeinflussen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Diese Internationale Norm legt Betriebsbedingungen in SI-Einheiten fest, die Maße des Prüfmotors
sind jedoch Inch-Pound-Einheiten, da dies die Fertigungsmaße sind, und deshalb enthalten einige Verweise in dieser
Internationalen Norm diese Einheiten in Klammern.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für den Zweck dieser Internationalen Norm dürfen die Symbole % (V/V) bzw. % (m/m) verwendet
werden, um Volumenanteile in % bzw. Massenanteile in % auszudrücken.

Produits pétroliers - Détermination des caractéristiques antidétonantes des carburants pour moteurs automobile et aviation - Méthode moteur (ISO 5163:2005)

L'ISO 5163:2005 spécifie une méthode de cotation des carburants liquides pour moteurs à allumage commandé, exprimée sur une échelle arbitraire d'indice d'octane, en utilisant un moteur monocylindre à quatre temps, à taux de compression variable, à carburateur, le moteur CFR fonctionnant à vitesse constante. L'indice d'octane moteur (MON) constitue une mesure des caractéristiques antidétonantes des carburants dans les moteurs pour automobiles dans des conditions de fonctionnement sévères. L'indice d'octane moteur constitue une mesure des caractéristiques antidétonantes des essences aviation dans les moteurs d'avion à pistons, en utilisant une équation pour le corréler à l'indice d'octane méthode aviation, ou indice de performance (indice aviation mélange pauvre).
L'ISO 5163:2005 s'applique dans une gamme d'indices d'octane allant de 0 MON à 120 MON, mais les essais courants se font entre 40 MON et 120 MON. La gamme de mesure classique pour les carburants moteurs va de 80 MON à 90 MON, tandis que pour les essences aviation elle va de 98 MON à 102 MON.
L'ISO 5163:2005 est applicable aux carburants qui comportent des oxygénés et contiennent au maximum 4,0 % (m/m) d'oxygène.

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. Each 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 part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5163 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants.

Introduction
The purpose of this International Standard is to accord ISO status to a test procedure that is already used in a
standardized form all over the world. The procedure in question is published by ASTM International as
Standard Test Method D 2700-01a.
By publishing this International Standard, ISO recognizes that this method is used in its original text in many
member countries and that the standard equipment and many of the accessories and materials required for
the method are obtainable only from specific manufacturers or suppliers. To carry out the procedure requires
reference to six annexes and three appendices of ASTM D 2700-01a, contained in the Annual Book of ASTM
1)
Standards, Section 5 . The annexes detail the specific equipment and instrumentation required, the critical
component settings and adjustments, and include the working tables of referenced settings. The appendices
provide background and additional insight about auxiliary equipment, operational techniques and the concepts
relative to proper maintenance of the engine and instrumentation items.
The accumulated motor and aviation-type fuel data relating to knock characteristics determined in many
2)
countries has, for many years, been based on the use of the CFR engine and the ASTM octane test
methods. Accepted worldwide, petroleum industry octane number requirements for motor and aviation-type
fuels are defined by the motor method and associated CFR F-2 Octane Rating Unit, which emphasizes the
need for this method and test equipment to be standardized. The initiation of studies to use a different engine
for ISO purposes has therefore been considered an unnecessary duplication of effort.
It is further recognized that this method for rating motor and aviation-type fuels, which does include metric
operating conditions, is nevertheless an exceptional case in that the CFR engine is manufactured to inch
dimensions and requires numerous settings and adjustments to inch dimensions. Application of metrication to
these dimensions and tolerances can only be accomplished by strict numerical conversion which would not
reflect proper metric engineering practice. Attempts to utilize metric measurement instruments for checking
component dimensions to the numerically converted metric values would only introduce an additional source
of test variability.
For these reasons, it has been considered desirable by ISO Technical Committee 28, Petroleum products and
lubricants, to adopt the ASTM D 2700 standard rewritten to comply with the ISO Directives, Part 2, Rules for
the structure and drafting of International Standards. However, this International Standard refers to annexes
and appendices of ASTM D 2700 without change because of their extensive detail. These annexes and
appendices are not included in this International Standard because they are published in the Annual Book of
ASTM Standards, Section 5.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5163:2005(E)

Petroleum products — Determination of knock characteristics
of motor and aviation fuels — Motor method
WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and
equipment. This International Standard does not purport to address of the safety problems associated
with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this International Standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1 Scope
This International Standard establishes the rating of liquid spark-ignition engine fuel in terms of an arbitrary
scale of octane numbers using a standard single-cylinder, four-stroke cycle, variable-compression ratio,
carburetted, CFR engine operated at constant speed. Motor octane number (MON) provides a measure of the
knock characteristics of motor fuels in automotive engines under severe conditions of operation. The motor
octane number provides a measure of the knock characteristics of aviation fuels in aviation piston engines, by
using an equation to correlate to aviation-method octane number or performance number (lean-mixture
aviation rating).
This International Standard is applicable for the entire scale range from 0 MON to 120 MON, but the working
range is 40 MON to 120 MON. Typical motor fuel testing is in the range of 80 MON to 90 MON. Typical
aviation fuel testing is in the range of 98 MON to 102 MON.
This International Standard can be used for oxygenate-containing fuels containing up to 4,0 % (m/m) oxygen.
Certain gases and fumes, such as halogenated refrigerants used in air-conditioning equipment that can be
present in the area where the CFR engine is located, may have a measurable effect on the MON rating.
Electrical power transient voltage or frequency surges or distortion can affect MON ratings.
NOTE 1 This International Standard specifies operating conditions in SI units but engine measurements are specified
in inch-pound units because these are the units used in the manufacture of the equipment, and thus some references in
this International Standard include these units in parenthesis.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this International Standard, the expressions “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
the mass and volume fractions of a material, respectively.
