2. Cetane improver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_improver

   The cetane number is a key property of diesel fuel, as it measures its aptitude to self-ignite in the combustion chamber. [8] The auto ignition temperature of diesel fuel is around 220 °C (428 °F) at atmospheric pressure. Cetane improver additives are used to decrease this temperature and lead to quicker combustion, by increasing the cetane ...

3. Cetane number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_number

   In Europe, diesel cetane numbers were set at a minimum of 38 in 1994 and 40 in 2000. The standard for diesel sold in European Union, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland is defined by standard EN 590. Since 1 January 2001 EN 590 demands a minimum cetane index of 46 and a minimum cetane number of 51. Premium diesel fuel can have a cetane number as ...

4. Isopropyl nitrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_nitrate

   It is used as a diesel cetane improver. IPN is a low-sensitivity explosive, with a detonation velocity of approximately 5400 m/s. [5] Isopropyl nitrate is extremely flammable and burns with a practically invisible flame. This presents unique hazards in its handling.

5. Cetane index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_index

   Cetane index is used as a substitute for the cetane number of diesel fuel. The cetane index is calculated based on the fuel's density and distillation range (ASTM D86). There are two methods used, ASTM D976 and D4737. The older D976, or "two-variable equation" is outdated and should no longer be used for cetane number estimation.

6. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   The principal measure of diesel fuel quality is its cetane number. A cetane number is a measure of the delay of ignition of a diesel fuel. [32] A higher cetane number indicates that the fuel ignites more readily when sprayed into hot compressed air. [32] European (EN 590 standard) road diesel has a minimum cetane number of 51.
