U.S. goes by Cetane Number of 40 whereas EU follows a Cetane Index of 46 plus a Cetane Number of 51. Other countries either specify Cetane Number or Cetane index, some of them specify both. Cetane Number can be improved by adding chemical additives , the Cetane Index cannot be influenced since its a quality of base fuel.

How diesel index of a given oil sample is calculated?

The Diesel Index indicates the ignition quality of the fuel. It is found to correlate, approximately, to the cetane number of commercial fuels. It is obtained by the following equation


Cetane number equals Diesel Index - 3?

Cetane number is derived from an engine test. It measures the ignition characteristics of diesel fuel, (which detonates under pressure). The higher the Cetane number, the greater the resistance to pre-ignition. A high cetane diesel can be used in high compression (more effcient) engines. Diesel Index (DI) is a calculation allowing an approximation of Cetane No., when there is no Cetane Test Engine available. The DI is derived from the Analine Point. The Analine Point is a temperature, where analine and the (diesel) sample become completely miscible. DIESEL INDEX = ((ANILINE POINT(DEG F))(API GRAVITY))/100 A higher aniline point (and therefore a lower aromatic content) in diesel oil is desirable, in order to prevent autoignition in diesel engines.


What is the formula used in diesel index calculation?

diesel index = aniline point *API(1/100)

How the density of diesel measured?

The density of diesel is typically measured using a hydrometer or a densitometer. These instruments determine the density of the diesel fuel by measuring the buoyancy or the refractive index of the liquid. Density can also be calculated by dividing the mass of a given volume of diesel by that volume.
