New Technology Speeds Fuel Inspections
新技术加速燃料检查
OKLAHOMA CITY— The person on the service station driveway looking at what appears to be a hand-held calculator maybe watching something in gasoline that you can't see.
俄克拉荷马城——在服务站的车道上，人们看到的似乎是一个手持式的计算器，可能在看一些你看不见的汽油
Corporation Commission fuel insp^tors are using this “special vision” to check octane levels at retail stations to help ensure that motorists are getting the grade of gasoline the pump label says they are buying.
公司委员会的燃料督察人员正在使用这种“特殊的眼光”来检查零售加油站的辛烷值，以确保驾车者能得到加油站标签上标明他们正在购买的汽油等级。
The octane checks are made with portable, battery-powered analyzers that use infrared light beams to probe, calculate and compare the molecular structure of the motor fiiel, which then determines octane level. Corporation Commission foel inspectors started using this new technology early in 1996. Oklahoma is one of 15 states using infrared technology for screening octane.
辛烷值的检查是用便携式的，电池供电的分析仪，利用红外光束来探测，计算和比较马达的分子结构，然后确定辛烷值的水平。公司委员会的foel检查员早在1996年就开始使用这项新技术。俄克拉荷马州是15个使用红外技术筛选辛烷的州之一。
“This has greatly improved our octane testing program because we no longer have to send every sample to Oklahoma City for testing. We can test octane levels in less time and with greater frequency which ultimately means safer fuel for Oklahoma motorists,” Ray Smith, Fuel Division director, said.
这大大提高了我们的辛烷值测试计划，因为我们不再需要把每个样本送到俄克拉荷马城进行测试。”我们可以用更短的时间和更大的频率测试辛烷值，这对俄克拉荷马州的驾车者来说意味着更安全的燃料。
A screening test on the new portable octane analyzers takes less than one minute and can be completed on site at the service station. In 1971, when Oklahoma began it’s octane testing program, the only method of inspection was to take samples from retrnl stations and send them to the fuel laboratory in Oklahoma City for testing in knock engines, which measures fuel combustion efficiency. Turnaround time, including time for the sample to be transported to the iab, could take up to three hours for samples in the Oklahoma City area or up to a day and a half for samples from elsewhere in the state.
新的便携式辛烷值分析仪的筛选测试只需不到一分钟，就可以在服务站完成。1971年，俄克拉何马州开始进行辛烷值测试，唯一的检查方法就是从retrnl站取样，然后送到俄克拉荷马城的燃料实验室进行爆震发动机的测试，这可以测量燃料燃烧效率。周转时间，包括将样品运往iab的时间，在俄克拉荷马城地区的样品可能需要3个小时的时间，或者从州其他地方的样品中花费一天半的时间。
The knock engines are still the primary method for octane testing. If a sample fails the octane analyzer screening test, the sample is re-tested in a knock engine to verify results.
爆震发动机仍然是辛烷值测试的主要方法。如果样品在辛烷值分析仪的筛选试验中失败，样品会在爆震发动机中重新测试以验证结果。
The octane analyzer screens the four primary grades of octane: 87 unleaded, 89 unleaded plus, 91 premium and 93 super. It also screens octane levels in gasoline containing ethanol and the intermediate blends of octane if applicable.
辛烷值分析仪显示了辛烷的四个主要等级:87无铅，89无铅+，91级和93级。它还能显示汽油中含有乙醇的辛烷值和辛烷的中间混合物。
The speed and productivity benefits of the portable analyzers are illustrated by octane testing logs. In fiscal year 1995, when all testing was done in the knock engines, 1,920 tests were completed, an average of 160 tests per month. In the first seven months of this fiscal year, there were 3,143 tests, an average of 449 tests per month
便携式分析仪的速度和生产率的优点是用辛烷值测试日志来说明的。在1995财政年度，当所有的测试都在敲击引擎中完成时，1,920个测试完成，平均每个月进行160个测试。在本财政年度的前七个月，共有3143项测试，平均每月449次。
