F1/F2 Octane Rating System with XCP® TECHNOLOGY

The CFR® F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit is the globally accepted standard for determining and certifying the anti-knock characteristics of motor fuels – whether gasoline, fuel constituents, or alternative fuels. Since the release of the first CFR octane rating engines in 1929, CFR has been at the forefront of establishing test methods for rating fuels. Working hand-in-hand with the automotive and petroleum industries, we continue to enhance the CFR product line to help fuel producers and engine manufacturers develop products that perform together more effectively.

The CFR F1/F2 octane rating engines are specified equipment for testing fuels according to:

ASTM D2699: Standard Test Method for Research Octane Number of Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel
ASTM D2700: Standard Test Method for Motor Octane Number of Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel
IP 236: Determination of Knock Characteristics of Motor and Aviation Fuels – Motor Method
IP 237: Determination of Knock Characteristics of Motor Fuel – Research Method

Description

Confidence in a Fully integrated Fuel Testing System

A complete CFR Engines Inc. octane fuel testing system includes four main elements, each designed to seamlessly integrate and deliver trusted results. With the Engine Air Control System, the F1/F2 octane rating engine, XCP™ Technology, and a CFR® exhaust surge tank; each critical parameter of a successful octane test is controlled. Whether working with a complete unit, an upgrade/conversion kit, or a genuine CFR service part; the product has been designed, manufactured, and fully tested by CFR to work as an integrated solution for your operation. Confidence in the CFR octane rating system to do its job, allows users to focus less on making the system work and focus more on what else they need to do.

Data Integrity with XCP Technology

With the XCP Digital Control Panel, critical information for each rating is automatically captured and presented in a ready-to-use Excel-based report, minimizing manual data recording and calculating errors. The standard report of XCP includes KI values, Octane Numbers, environmental data (temperatures, pressures, barometer, and EACS humidity), and KI vs fuel level curves. The XCP is also capable of being integrated into a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Automatic capture and processing of test data gives the accountability needed to defend ratings without challenge.

Data Integrity with XCP Technology

Reliability of Proven Design

Since 1929, thousands of users have relied on the proven service of CFR Engines Inc. products. This reliability has been consistently maintained through a long series of well-designed system upgrades and product enhancements. CFR octane and cetane testing systems and components, such as the robust engine crankcase and cylinder/head, are built to deliver unsurpassed operating life. With basic maintenance and upkeep, a user can expect CFR octane rating engines to consistently withstand the demands of today’s fuel testing environment with a true engine-based Octane Number.

Precision through Modern Instrument Control

The CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit with XCP Technology uses digital instrumentation to record and process critical aspects of system operation and performance. On-board barometric pressure adjustments, increased automation, broad octane meter range, no adjustments for “spread”, and even control of engine intake air are some of the many advantages of the CFR fully integrated instrument system. More accurate measurements controlled by and intuitive interface lead to better overall precision.
