THE PROBLEM OF QUICK DETERMINATION OF OCTANE NUMBER AND THE WAYS OF ITS SOLUTION
This article describes issues that arise during application of typical knocking resistance assessment methods in production quality control of automobile gasoline. It also depicts three different approaches to solve the problem and new classification of the octane express-methods, based on amount of parameters of the mathematical model. A new binary approach, an algorithm of the process of binary methods developing and a new method of octane express-analysis developed by the author and introduced into real production are described. The advantages of proposed method are their time efficiency, regular laboratory equipment usage capability, good convergence with standard methods, relative calibration simplicity, and illustrativeness.
