Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice promotes uniformity in the
characterization tests conducted on sprays generated by automotive
fuel injectors used in both port fuel injection and gasoline-direct
injection engine applications. SAE J2715 contains the detailed
background, procedures and data reduction protocols for nearly all
fuel spray characterization metrics that are applicable to
automotive applications. It is intended to be utilized in
conjunction with other SAE J documents that address injector
performance metrics. These are SAE J1832 for Port Fuel Injection
and the forthcoming SAE J2713 for Gasoline Direct Injectors.
Purpose
a. Standardize the use of nomenclature specifically related to
gasoline fuel injector spray measurements.
b. Identify and define the key metrics that constitute the
characterization of fuel sprays.
c. Establish detailed test procedures and recommend test
equipment and methods to measure and quantify these key
metrics.
d. Establish the recommended data reduction and analysis
procedures.
e. Establish the criteria for data reporting and the required
accompanying information that must be supplied in order to
interpret and reproduce the test results.
