In the dynamic field of assessing and certifying the anti-knock properties of motor fuels, the CFR® F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit stands out as an undisputed leader. Since the introduction of the first CFR octane rating engines in 1929, CFR has consistently led in fuel testing. This evolution aligns perfectly with the automotive and petroleum industries, empowering fuel producers and engine manufacturers worldwide.
Setting the Standard: CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Engines
The CFR F1/F2 octane rating engines set the benchmark for testing fuels according to various international standards, including ASTM D2699 for Research Octane Number and ASTM D2700 for Motor Octane Number. This underscores CFR’s commitment to setting and maintaining global standards in fuel testing.
Confidence in a Fully Integrated Fuel Testing System
A complete CFR Engines Inc. octane fuel testing system includes four main components intricately designed to seamlessly integrate and deliver reliable results. The Engine Air Control System, the F1/F2 octane rating engine, XCP™ Technology, and a CFR® exhaust surge tank collaboratively control every critical parameter of a successful octane test. Whether you choose a complete unit, an upgrade/conversion kit, or a genuine CFR service part, rest assured that the product is crafted, manufactured, and rigorously tested by CFR to function as an integrated solution for your operations.
Trust in the CFR octane rating system allows users to focus less on system mechanics and more on the bigger picture.
Data Integrity with XCP Technology
The XCP Digital Control Panel elevates data integrity, automatically capturing crucial information for each rating and presenting it in a user-friendly Excel-based report. This reduces the risk of manual recording errors. The standard XCP report includes KI values, Octane Numbers, environmental data, and KI vs. fuel level curves. Additionally, the XCP integrates seamlessly into a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), ensuring test data is captured and processed without question.
Reliability of Proven Design
Since 1929, CFR Engines Inc. products have been synonymous with reliability for thousands of users. This trustworthiness endures thanks to continuous system upgrades and product enhancements. Components like the robust engine crankcase and cylinder/head are engineered for unparalleled operating life. With routine maintenance, CFR octane rating engines meet the rigorous demands of today’s fuel testing environment, delivering a true engine-based Octane Number.
Precision through Modern Instrument Control
Equipped with XCP Technology, the CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit uses digital instrumentation to record and process critical aspects of system operation and performance. Features like on-board barometric pressure adjustments, increased automation, a broad octane meter range, and precise control of engine intake air enhance overall precision, making measurements more accurate and dependable.
Cost Savings with One System Flexibility
A CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating System offers unmatched flexibility and cost savings. With simple component changes and push-button control, users can easily switch between any of the four test procedures outlined in ASTM Methods D2699 or D2700. This versatility translates into resource optimization, faster test transitions, reduced operator training, and enhanced repeatability—all from a single system.
