CAN/CGSB-3.0 No. 20.9-95
1. SCOPE
1.1 This method describes a means for calculating the cetane index of
diesel fuels (without cetane improvers) from the aniline point,
distillation, density and viscosity. The index, as computed from the
prescribed formula, is termed the CGSB Cetane Index (CI).
1.2 A suggested procedure is also outlined in Appendix A to estimate the
cetane index, additized (CIA), based on the calculated cetane index for
diesel fuels containing diesel ignition improver (DII). This procedure
can be used to estimate the combustion quality when CI and DII are
used, and a cetane engine test is not performed. This Appendix does
not form a mandatory part of this method.
1.3 The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may
require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous.
This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects
associated with its use. Anyone using this standard has the
responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish
appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any
existing applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
