The lube oil filter becomes an integral part of the engine lubrication system and is subjected to variations in operating conditions that are difficult to duplicate. However, with the equipment and procedures set forth in this test code, comparisons with effective filters for “in service” applications can be made with a high degree of confidence.

This lubrication oil filter test code is to provide means for evaluating the performance characteristics of full-flow oil filters on bench equipment. This combined with data collected from in-service applications may be used for establishing standards or performance goals for filters tested in this manner.

Sections include:

• Normative Reference
• Accuracy of Measuring Instruments and Test Conditions
• Resistance to Flow
• Filter Capacity and Containment Removal Characteristics of Full-Flow Filters
• Single Pass Particle Retention Capability Test
• Media Migration Test
• Collapse Test for Lube Oil Elements
• Inlet and Outlet Anti-Drain Valve Test
• Ability to Meet Environmental Conditions
• Installation and Removal

The 50 SAE technical papers included in this volume touch on all aspects of the significant systems engineering effort that has occurred within the broad automobile catalytic emission control technology base during the past fifteen years. Dr. Joseph Kubsh, Deputy Director of the Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association, hand-selected the publications for this volume from hundreds of technical papers published by SAE that address catalytic emission control technologies for light-duty gasoline vehicles. These papers include efforts to improve the performance, durability, and cost effectiveness of the catalytic converter systems used on gasoline stoichiometric engines and the integration of these three-way catalysts into sophisticated powertrains capable of operating at near-zero tailpipe emission levels. They provide a retrospective look at the evolution of the key technology developments that have occurred on automotive three-way catalysts since the early 1990s from research and development laboratories worldwide.

The automotive lubricants arena has undergone significant changes since the first edition of this book was published in 1996. Environmental concerns have dominated both newspaper headlines and industry boardrooms in recent years, with particular attention being given to the improvement of air quality. This 2nd edition also considers the recent phenomenon of increased consolidation within the oil and petroleum additive arenas, which has resulted in fewer people for research, development, and implementation, along with fewer competing companies. The Automotive Lubricants Reference Book, second edition addresses these and many other important issues by providing a solid foundation to this element of automotive engineering. Comprehensive and timely, this publication is an ideal reference for anyone involved in the automotive lubricants industry.

The public health risks posed by automotive particulate emissions are well known. Accordingly, legislation limiting particulate emissions is becoming increasingly stringent, placing great pressure on the automotive industry to produce cleaner vehicles — pressure only heightened by the ever-increasing number of cars on our roads. Pulling together a wealth of knowledge that is currently only available through journal and conference papers, this book addresses a field of increasing international interest, research activity, and legislation. Authored by an acknowledged expert in the field, this book discusses the impact of new legislation on the automotive industry and the new ways of measuring particulate size, number, and composition that are now being sought. This book is divided into sections on particulate fundamentals, formation, characterization, measurement, abatement, and health. Also included are chapters on spark-ignition engines and processes of disintegration. Particulate Emissions from Vehicles explains new ways of measuring particle size, number, and composition that are currently under development. The expert analysis and summary of the state-of-the-art, which encompasses the key areas of combustion performance, measurement techniques, and toxicology, will appeal to R&D practitioners and engineers working in the automotive industry and related mechanical fields, as well as postgraduate students and researchers of engine technology, air pollution, and life/environmental science.

A concerted goal of this book is to raise the analytical level of accident reconstruction practice such that commonly known scientific, engineering, and mathematical methods increasingly become a more common part of the field. Intended for seasoned practitioners and those entering the field of accident reconstruction, the topical coverage is aimed at the problems reconstructionists encounter from day to day and the types of methods used. Readers are guided through a multitude of practical, useful, and informative examples that show how, when, and why many of these problems occur – key requirements for designing safer vehicles, handling insurance claims, and litigating court cases.

Opposed Piston Engines: Evolution, Use, and Future Applications explores the opposed piston (OP) engine, a model of power and simplicity, and provides the first comprehensive description of most opposed piston (OP) engines from 1887 to 2006. Design and performance details of the major types of OP engines in stationary, ground, marine, and aviation applications are explored and their evolution traced.

The OP engine has set enviable and leading-edge standards for power/weight refinement, fuel tolerance, fuel efficiency, package space, and manufacturing simplicity. For these reasons, the OP concept still remains of interest for outstanding power and package density, simplicity, and reliability; e.g., aviation and certain military transport requirements.

Using material from historic and unpublished internal research reports, the authors present the rationale for OP engines, their diverse architecture, detailed design aspects, performance data, manufacturing details, and leading engineers and applications. Comparisons to four-stroke and competitor engines are made, supporting the case for reconsidering OP engines for certain applications.

“It takes a trained eye working in a systematic fashion to find the unusual detail that leads to the root cause contributors to a tire’s failure,” writes author Thomas R. Giapponi. “The goal of the tire forensic expert is to keep digging backwards, looking for root cause(s) and putting as much of the tire story together as possible.”

Tire forensics is the methodical analysis of failed tires in order to identify the causes of a tire’s disablement. By using the laws of physics, math, chemistry, and engineering – mixed with real-world tire background and experience – tire forensic experts determine the most likely events that led up to and caused a tire to fail.

Tire Forensic Investigation: Analyzing Tire Failure covers the many ways that a tire can fail, and shows how to identify that failure. Based on the author’s 30 years of experience in the tire industry, the book looks at the methodical, physical, visual and tactile examination of the failed tire and identifies the various failure modes for passenger car and light truck tires.

Chapters cover:
Belt separation
Belt separation identification
Other belt separation types
Identification of causes and contributors to belt separation
Non-belt separation identification
Various tire conditions – identification
Balance weight mark identification and significance
Tire location on a vehicle
Addressing several failure theories
Visual and tactile nondestructive tire investigation techniques
“There is a combination of science, experience and some art that goes into the research and analysis of a tire failure,” Giapponi writes. Tire Forensic Investigation: Analyzing Tire Failure will provide tire forensic experts and researchers with the technical background needed to determine tire failure causation.
