Scope
The heating value or heat of combustion is a measure of the energy available from the fuel. The fraction or percentage of the heat of combustion that is converted to useful work is a measure of the thermal efficiency of an engine. Thus, a knowledge of the heat of combustion of the fuel is basic to the engineering of automotive engines. This SAE Information Report provides information on the standardized procedures for determining the heat of combustion of fuels that may be used for automotive engines.
The changes to SAE J1498 include:
-
SAE Publications - Added SAE Paper 2010-01-1517
-
Other Publications and Sections 5, 9, and 10 - Updated ASTM alphanumeric designations and titles.
-
Section 10 - Added discussion of a method to calculate net heating value for gasoline-ethanol blends using ASTM D3338.
Rationale
The standard was last revised in 2011. No member of the current TC-7 Committee has expressed interest in sponsoring a review and/or revision to the standard.

Issuing Committee
Fuels and Lubricants TC 7 Fuels Committee
The Fuels Technical Committee 7 is responsible for the development of SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, Information Reports and related information pertinent to the technical aspects of fuels for internal combustion engines used in ground vehicles. The Truck and Bus J1616 Task Force has been formed under the committee's direction. Participants in the SAE Fuels Technical Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government and other interested parties.
Reference
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
