This SAE Recommended Practice specifies a uniform procedure for the evaluation of gaseous exhaust emissions from small utility engines typically less than 20 kW. Details of engine test setup and exhaust gas analysis techniques are specified with the intent of providing a uniform and reproducible method of measurement.
The intent has been to allow as much flexibility as possible in the physical construction of the experimental apparatus. Therefore, only those portions of the apparatus whose operation is critical to the accurate measurement of emissions levels are prescribed in detail.
An engine test procedure including a test sequence is outlined such that it would cover the various applications in which small engines are used. The intent is to provide an understanding of the levels of exhaust emissions and does not imply that in a given application, an engine would operate in all the modes outlined in the test procedure.
This document is intended as a guide toward standard practice and is subject to change to keep pace with experience and technical advances.
The Small Engine and Powered Equipment Committee is part of the Specialized Vehicle and Equipment Council. The committee is responsible for preparing, reviewing and updating SAE Standards, Recommended Practices and Information Reports that enhance the performance, efficiency, safety, and service of small engines and equipment powered by small engines. Engineering standards activities enable the design, development, application and testing of small engines, equipment, and related components. The committee is actively updating existing documents as well as developing new standards. Small engines are generally defined by the following criteria: 1. Less than 1.0 liter (61 cu. in.) total displacement and 2. Less than 30 Kw (40 hp) power output. The limits established above are not rigidly prescribed, since larger engines may legitimately fall within the committee scope where there is family similarity or other design characteristics in common with engines falling within the above designated limits. Participants in the SAE Small Engine and Powered Equipment Committee include suppliers, consulting firms, government and other interested parties.
* 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.

Search Tips: Search Operators:AND, OR, NOT; Wild Cards; Using Quotes
SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
