NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 4) which is identical with ISO 8178-4 : 2007 ‘Reciprocating internal
combustion engines — Exhaust emission measurement — Part 4: Steady-state test cycles for different
engine applications’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted
by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Automotive Prime Movers,
Transmission and Steering Systems and Internal Combustion Engines Sectional Committee and
approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

In comparison with engines for on-road applications, engines for off-road use are made in a much
wider range of power output and configuration and are used in a great number of different applications.

The objective of this standard is to rationalize the test methods for off-road engines in order to
simplify and make more cost effective the drafting of legislation, the development of engine
specifications and the certification of engines to control gaseous and particulate emissions.

This standard embraces three concepts in order to achieve the objectives.

The first principle is to group applications with similar engine operating characteristics in order to
reduce the number of test cycles to a minimum, but ensure that the test cycles are representative of
actual engine operation.

The second principle is to express the emissions results on the basis of brake power as defined in
ISO 8178-1 : 2006 ‘Reciprocating internal combustion engines — Exhaust emission measurement —
Part 1: Test-bed measurement of gaseous and particulate exhaust emissions’. This ensures that
alternative engine applications do not result in a multiplicity of tests.

The third principle is the incorporation of an engine family concept in which engines with similar
emission characteristics and of similar design may be represented by the highest emitting engine
within the group.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard reference appear to the following International Standard for which Indian
Standard also exists. The corresponding Indian Standard which is to be substituted in its place is
given below along with its degree of equivalence for the edition indicated:

RECIPROCATING INTERNAL COMBUSTION
ENGINES — EXHAUST EMISSION MEASUREMENT
PART 4 STEADY-STATE TEST CYCLES FOR DIFFERENT ENGINE APPLICATIONS

1 Scope
This part of ISO 8178 specifies the test cycles for the measurement and the evaluation of gaseous and
particulate exhaust emissions from reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engines coupled to a
dynamometer. With certain restrictions, this part of ISO 8178 can also be used for measurements at site. The
tests are carried out under steady-state operation using test cycles which are representative of given
applications.

This part of ISO 8178 is applicable to RIC engines for mobile, transportable and stationary use, excluding
engines for motor vehicles primarily designed for road use. It may be applied to engines used, e.g. for earth-
moving machines, generating sets and for other applications.

For engines used in machinery covered by additional requirements (e.g. occupational health and safety
regulations, regulations for powerplants) additional test conditions and special evaluation methods may apply.

6 Test speeds

6.1 Rated speed

For the purposes of this part of ISO 8178, the rated speed is defined in 3.5. With the prior agreement of the
parties involved, the following reference speed may replace the rated speed for running the test cycles listed
in Clause 8.

Reference speed = low speed + 0,95 × (high speed − low speed)

4
 IS/ISO 8178-4 : 2007

where

low speed = lowest engine speed where 50 % of the rated or prime power is delivered;

high speed = highest engine speed where 70 % of the rated or prime power is delivered.

If the measured reference speed is within ± 3 % of the reference speed declared by the manufacturer, the
declared reference speed shall be used. If the tolerance is exceeded, the measured reference speed shall be
used.

6.2 Intermediate speed

6.2.1 For engines that are designed to operate over a speed range on a full-load torque curve, the
intermediate speed shall be the declared maximum torque speed if it occurs between 60 % and 75 % of the
rated speed, on condition that the torque observed on the test engine at the declared intermediate engine
speed is not less than 96 % of the maximum torque observed between 60 % and 75 % of the rated speed.

If the declared maximum torque speed is less than 60 % of the declared rated speed, then the declared
intermediate speed shall be 60 % of the rated speed.

If the declared maximum torque speed is greater than 75 % of the rated speed then the declared intermediate
speed shall be 75 % of the rated speed.

If the torque observed at the declared intermediate engine speed is less than 96 % of the maximum torque
observed between 60 % and 75 % of the rated speed then the observed maximum torque speed shall be the
intermediate speed.

6.2.2 For engines which are not designed to operate over a speed range on a full-load torque curve at steady
state conditions, the intermediate speed will typically be between 60 % and 70 % of the rated speed.

6.2.3 For marine application engines to be used to propel vessels with a fixed propeller, as specified in 8.5,
the intermediate speeds are defined in Clause 8.

6.2.4 For engines to be tested on cycle G1, the intermediate speed shall be 85 % of the rated speed.

8 Modes and weighting factors for test cycles

8.1 General remarks

The exhaust emission measurement and evaluation shall be carried out using the appropriate test cycle for
the application as described in general in 8.3 to 8.8. With the prior agreement of the parties involved, the
universal test cycle described in Annex B may be used and the emissions values for the respective application
calculated using the appropriate weighting factors. For special cases not shown, an adequate choice shall be
made and agreed upon by the parties concerned. Most of the following test cycles have been derived from
and follow the same principles as the UN-ECE R49 [17] 13-mode steady-state test cycle.

6
 IS/ISO 8178-4 : 2007

The particulate emission may be measured by either the multiple filter or the single filter method according to
13.3 of ISO 8178-1:2006. To evaluate the particulate emission by the multiple filter method, it is necessary to
measure the particulate concentration and the particulate mass emission of each test mode at stabilized
engine operation. The time needed for stabilization of the engine depends on engine size and ambient
conditions.

The test equipment and test cycles of ISO 8178-1 and this part of ISO 8178 may also be used for the
measurement of particulate emissions from spark ignition engines.

8.2 Requirements

Each test shall be performed in the given sequence of the test modes for a particular test cycle. The minimum
test mode length is 10 min which is the standard, except for cycles “G” (see 8.7.3). If necessary the mode
length may be extended e.g. to collect sufficient particulate sample mass or to achieve stabilization with large
engines.

The mode length shall be recorded and reported.

Except for test cycles “G” (see 8.7.3), the gaseous exhaust emission concentration values shall be measured
and recorded for at least 3 min anywhere in the mode if the engine is stabilized and meets the speed and
torque requirements of the respective mode. Only the last 60 s of the 3 min period shall be used for emission
calculation in accordance with 13.2 of ISO 8178-1:2006.

Particulate sampling shall not commence before engine stabilization, as defined by the manufacturer, has
been achieved, and shall preferably be conducted at the same time as gaseous emissions are measured. For
the single filter method, the completion of particulate sampling shall be within ± 5 s of the completion of the
gaseous emission measurement.

For the multiple filter method only, particulate sampling and gaseous emissions measurement may be
repeated during the mode until a valid sample is obtained as long as the speed and torque requirements are
met.

Test modes may be repeated, as long as the engine is preconditioned by running the previous mode. In case
of the first mode of any cycle, the engine shall be preconditioned according to 12.3 of ISO 8178-1:2006. If a
delay of more than 20 min, but less than 4 h, occurs between the end of one mode and the beginning of
another mode, the engine shall be preconditioned by running the previous mode. If the delay exceeds 4 h, the
engine shall be preconditioned according to 12.3 of ISO 8178-1:2006.

If at any time during a test mode, the test equipment malfunctions or the engine speed and load do not meet
the requirements of 12.7.1 of ISO 8178-1:2006, the test mode is void and may be aborted. The test mode may
be restarted by preconditioning with the previous mode.

8.7.3 Performing the test

The test cycles G1, G2 or G3 shall be performed in ascending order of mode number of the cycle in question.

The provisions of 8.2 shall be taken into account.

For spark ignition engines when only gaseous emissions are measured, each mode time shall be 3 min. The
gaseous exhaust emission concentration values shall be measured and recorded for the last 2 min of the
respective test mode.

For spark ignition engines the gaseous emissions shall only be measured in one of the specific cycles G1, G2
or G3. It is not permitted to calculate the emission results from the test cycle type B.

8.7.4 Criteria for the application of these tests

8.7.4.1 Choosing an appropriate test cycle

If the primary end use of an engine model is known then the test cycle may be chosen based on the examples
given in 8.7.4.2. If the primary end use of an engine model is uncertain then the appropriate test cycle should
be chosen based upon the engine specification. Both compression ignition and spark ignition engines may be
tested in any of the three cycles; whichever is most appropriate.

NOTE Diesel engines of any rated power intended for applications listed in other test cycles can be tested according
to that cycle (e.g. cycles D and C1).

9 Engine control area

9.1 General remarks

The exhaust emissions are measured using the appropriate test cycles in accordance with 8.3 to 8.8. The
emission results will therefore be representative for the respective application. In addition, certain regulators
require that the emissions from the engine be controlled in areas not covered by the test cycle. While this part
of ISO 8178 does not specify any emission limits in those areas, it defines the engine control area depending
on the engine operation described in 9.2 to 9.4.

9.2 Multiple speed engines

This subclause applies to engines typically covered by test cycles C1, C2, E1 and H. The control area, as
shown in Figure 3, is defined as follows:

⎯ speed range: speed A to high speed;

⎯ torque range: 30 % to 100 %;

where:

⎯ speed A = low speed + 15% (high speed − low speed);

⎯ speed B = low speed + 50 % (high speed − low speed);

⎯ speed C = low speed + 75 % (high speed − low speed);

16
 IS/ISO 8178-4 : 2007

with

low speed = lowest engine speed where 50 % of the rated or prime power is delivered;

high speed = highest engine speed where 70 % of the rated or prime power is delivered.

a Percentage of maximum power.

b Percentage of maximum torque.

NOTE n is expressed as a percentage of rated speed (100 %), (idle = 0 %); M is expressed as a percentage of
maximum torque.

Figure 3 — Engine control area for multiple speed engines

If the measured engine speeds A, B and C are within ± 3 % of the engine speeds declared by the
manufacturer, the declared engine speeds shall be used. If the tolerance is exceeded for any of the test
speeds, the measured engine speeds shall be used.

The following speed and torque points shall be excluded from the control area:

⎯ points below 30 % of maximum power;

⎯ for particulate matter only, if the C speed is below 2 400 r/min, points to the right of or below the line
formed by connecting the points of 30 % of maximum torque or 30 % of maximum power, whichever is
greater, at the B speed and 70 % of maximum power at the high speed;

⎯ for particulate matter only, if the C speed is above 2 400 r/min, points to the right of the line formed by
connecting the points of 30 % of maximum torque or 30 % of maximum power, whichever is greater, at
the B speed, 50 % of maximum power at 2 400 r/min, and 70 % of maximum power at the high speed.

9.3 Constant speed engines

This subclause applies to engines typically covered by test cycles D1, D2, E2, G1, G2 and G3. Since those
engines are mainly operated very close to their designed operating speed, the control area is defined as:

⎯ speed: operating speed within the speed drop tolerance specified by the engine manufacturer;

⎯ load: 50 % to 100 %.

9.4 Engines operated on a propeller curve

9.4.1 CI engines

This subclause applies to engines typically covered by test cycles E3, E5 and F. Since those engines are
mainly operated slightly above and below their propeller curve or at constant speed, the control area is related
to the propeller curve and is defined as follows where a, b, c, x and y are exponents of mathematical equations
defining the boundaries of the control area.

For E3 test cycle of marine engines:

low speed limit: 63 %;

low power limit: 45 % for control area A; 25 % for control area B.

For marine engines with an individual cylinder displacement < 5 liter:

a = 1,15; b = 0,85; c = 1; x = 2; y = 4.

For marine engines with an individual cylinder displacement W 5 liter:

a = 1,04; b = 0,76; c = 0,9; x = 2; y = 4.

For F test cycle of locomotive engines:

a = 1,15; b = 0,85; c = 1; x = 2,5; y = 4.

9.4.2 Spark ignition (SI) engines

This subclause applies to engines typically covered by test cycle E4. Since those engines are mainly operated
slightly above and below their propeller curve, the control area is related to the propeller curve and is defined
as follows:

⎯ low speed limit: 40 %;

⎯ low torque limit: 25 %;

⎯ upper propeller curve boundary: 1,5 n − 0,16;

⎯ lower propeller curve boundary: 1,5 n − 0,08.

Annex B
(normative)

Universal test cycle

Apart from the test modes of cycles E3, E4, E5 and H, which are calculated from propeller curves, the test
modes of the other cycles can be combined into a universal cycle without weighting factors. From emissions
data for each of the modes of this cycle, emission values for each of the other cycles may be calculated using
the appropriate weighting factors for the respective application. By doing so, duplication of test runs can be
avoided if the same engine is used in different applications. The universal test cycle is shown below:
