NEW – Octane Interface Panel
Limitations in Octane Testing
There is a challenge to consistently and accurately test, monitor, and record data for Research and Motor Octane Number methods
Manually collecting, checking, recording:
Barometric pressure
Critical Operating Temperatures
Digital counts
Knock Intensities
Limits productivity, and any errors may result in losses of time and money
Many calculations are based on barometric pressure – where is your certified source?
In an effort to streamline the process, StanCo Scientific’s Octane Interface Panel was developed to improve lab productivity through accurate, semi-automated recording procedures
Features of the Octane Interface Panel
Upgrade package of the SSD9000
Record and monitor three popular rating procedures described by ASTM D2699 & D2700
Bracketing – Equilibrium Fuel Level
Bracketing – Dynamic Fuel Level
Compression Ratio
Real-time temperature display with feedback based on method set-points
Blinking indicators when temperatures are out of range – with added detail if temperatures are too high or too low
Set up for two unit systems
SI Units
Imperial Units
RON/MON operation
Simplified calibration procedures for
temperature, knock intensity, and
cylinder height
Detonation Pickup signal scope
Built-in high accuracy barometer
Barometric correction logic
Procedure A
Bracketing – Equilibrium Fuel Level
Capture fuel KI values at different fuel
levels throughout the testing range to
determine where the peak KI exists
Plot and export data to an Excel file
Prepare multiple fuels to be saved
within the data set
Get a direct reading of the cylinder
height, automatically adjusted for
barometric correction
Generate reports and calculate
octane number
Procedure B
Bracketing – Dynamic Fuel Level
Capture maximum KI values of LRF,
HRF, and Sample on two consecutive
passes
Once a pass is complete, save the
first set of data and complete the
second pass
The interface takes the data from
these two passes and computes the
Octane Number according to the
method
Procedure C
Compression Ratio
Capture separate fuels on one screen
to determine max knock with charted
profile
Cylinder height counter with
automated barometric correction
Capture Octane Number based on
current digital count
Real-time temperature display with
feedback based on method set-points
Blinking indicators when
temperatures are out of range
Diagnostic Monitoring
Monitor temperatures over a period of
time for easier engine diagnosis and
troubleshooting
Catch errors in real-time and be able
to document them
Easily perform a temperature
calibration on PT100 temperature
probes from within the interface setup
pages
Monitor D1 signal
Advantages of the Octane Interface Panel
Visual representation of all desired values in one easily accessible interface
Ability to record and compare multiple fuels for successive runs – run multiple sample fuels that fall within the same reference fuel brackets for increased productivity
Easily capture octane numbers without consulting tables – less room for errors
Freedom to run procedures as usual without software forcing the hand of the operator
Monitor D1-pickup health during engine operation
Verifies functionality during actual testing
No need to remove pickup for testing unless required
Easily switch between methods D2699 and D2700
Setup for all ASTM standard Venturi sizes
Optional higher-accuracy barometers for use as laboratory reference
Ensures more accurate and consistent results

Knockmeter Linearity
Under testing conditions (controlled voltage
input using SSD7000), we found there are
sometimes linearity issues with the analog
meters
The SSD1000 units all performed linearly
and were more consistent than analog
counterparts
