Foreword
This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T
1.1-2009.
This standard made reference to the technical information on the natural gas
consumption in the Regulation ECE R101-02 “Unified provisions on the
certification of the passenger vehicles installed with the internal combustion
engine only or hybrid power system based on the carbon dioxide emissions
and fuel consumption, AND the certification of the passenger vehicles installed
with hybrid power system and the pure electric motor type M1 and N1 based
on the power consumption and electric driving mileage” by the United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) as effected in April 4, 2005.
This standard was proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology of the People's Republic of China.
This standard shall be under the jurisdiction of the National Automotive
Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC 114).
The drafting organizations of this standard. China Automotive Technology
Research Center, Dongfeng Chaoyang Diesel Engine Co., Ltd., United
Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd. and Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd.

Test methods for fuel consumption of CNG vehicles
1 Scope
This standard specifies the test method for the natural gas fuel consumption of
passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles using the compressed natural
gas (CNG) as fuel.
This standard is applicable to the natural gas fuel consumption test of the
passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles using the compressed natural
gas single gas fuel, AND it is also applicable to the natural gas fuel
consumption test of the passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles using
compressed natural gas dual purpose fuel.
The natural gas fuel consumption test for other types of vehicles equipped with
compressed natural gas single fuel engines or dual purpose fuel engines may
make reference to this standard.

3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions as defined in GB/T 20604-2006 apply to this
document.
3.1
Natural gas; NG
It refers to the methane-based complex hydrocarbon mixtures, usually
containing ethane, propane and very small amounts of heavier
hydrocarbons, as well as a number of incombustible gases such as nitrogen
and carbon dioxide.
[GB/T 20604-2006, Definitions 2.1.1.1]
3.2
Dry natural gas
It refers to the natural gas for which the water vapor mole fraction is not
more than 0.005% [50 × 10-6 (mol)].
[GB/T 20604-2006, Definitions 2.1.1.9]
3.3
Combustion reference condition
It refers to the purely theoretical pressure and temperature conditions as
specified for natural gas combustion.
[GB/T 20604-2006, Definition 2.6.1.1]
Superior calorific value
It refers to, under the conditions that the pressure (p1) of the combustion
reaction is kept constant, all the combustion products other than water are
returned to the gaseous state at the same temperature (T1) as the reactant,
AND the water is condensed into a liquid having a temperature of T1, the
energy as released in the form of heat when a certain amount of fuel gas is
completely burned in the air.
[GB/T 20604-2006, Definition 2.6.4.1]
3.10
Inferior calorific value
It refers to, under the conditions that the pressure (p1) of the combustion
reaction is kept constant AND all the combustion products other than water
are returned to the gaseous state at the same temperature (T1) as the
reactant, the energy as released in the form of heat when a certain amount
of fuel gas is completely burned in the air.
[GB/T 20604-2006, Definition 2.6.4.2]
