24、NAL STANDARD ANSI/OPEI B71.10-2013American National Standard for Off-Road Ground-Supported Outdoor Power Equipment Gasoline Fuel Systems Performance Specifications and Test Procedures 1 Scope This standard describes performance based specifications and test procedures applicable to the gasoline fuel

25、 systems for off-road ground-supported outdoor power equipment with spark ignition engines of less than one liter displacement. The effective implementation date of this standard shall be two (2) years after the publication date and shall apply to all products built after that date. Manufacturers ma

26、y also comply with the requirements of this standard anytime after the publication date. Note: The tests described in this standard involve the use of hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is t

27、he responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2 Normative References The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions o

28、f this American National Standard.

33、e the operator is normally stationed to control the machines functions. 3.4 Fuel System The fuel system includes the fuel tank, the filler cap, fuel lines (tubing or hoses), and any other component connected to the fuel tank containing liquid fuel. The fuel system includes the connections between th

34、e fuel line and other components. Components such as carburetors, fuel pumps, and vent lines are not addressed in this standard. 3.5 Stress Crack An external or internal fracture in plastic caused by nominal tensile stresses below the yield stress of that material. 3.6 Stress Crack Failure For the p

35、urposes of this standard, a failure is the propagation of a stress crack of sufficient magnitude to allow fuel to leak through the component wall. 3.7 Fresh Fuel Regular, unleaded gasoline purchased within three (3) months of the beginning of the test. 3.8 Class I, Group D Materials Gases, vapors, o

36、r liquids that are explosive or pose a threat as ignitable mixtures as defined in NFPA 497-2004 and NFPA 70-2011. 3.9 Polyethylene (PE) Fuel Tank Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic polymer often used in the manufacture of fuel tanks. For the purposes of this standard, PE does not include cross-lin

37、ked PE. 3.10 Design A design includes all specifications, including but not limited to the dimensions, materials, tolerances, production process, tooling, and documentation. 3.11 Active Leakage The presence of any re-formed bubbles and/or bubbles rising to the waters surface during the required test

38、 time of Table 1. 4 Performance Specifications 4.1 Construction All fuel tanks shall be designed and manufactured to hold gasoline without leaking, in accordance with the test procedure in 5.1. 4.2 Fuel tank integrity Every fuel tank design shall be qualified one-time in accordance with the cyclic p

40、 shall be qualified one-time in accordance with the Elevated Temperature Fuel Soak test procedure in 5.3. 4.4 Fuel line All fuel line connection designs shall be qualified one-time in accordance with the fuel line assembly tensile test requirements of 5.4, except as follows: - Fuel lines of less tha

41、n 50 mm (2 inches) in length and which are held in place by compression after assembly; - Fuel line assembly connections which cannot reasonably be exposed to a tensile pull in the end use. 4.5 Corrosion resistance The fuel system should be designed, constructed, and installed to resist the anticipa

42、ted internal and external corrosive environment for the intended use and life of the equipment. 4.6 Installation The fuel tank installation should accommodate the twisting and bending movements and vibrations of the machine during intended use. The connections of flexible parts with rigid parts of t

43、he tank installation assembly should be so designed and constructed as to maintain a sealed connection under these dynamic conditions. 4.7 Fuel tank overfill Every fuel tank/equipment design shall be qualified one-time in accordance with the fuel tank overfill test in section 5.5. 4.8 Requalificatio

44、n requirement For the purposes of the one-time design qualification tests in this standard, any substantive change to a design requires requalification. 5 Test Procedures 5.1 Fuel Tank Leak Test This test specification is used to confirm the integrity of a fuel tank or fuel tank assembly, if applica

45、ble, against leakage. Every fuel tank manufactured shall be leak tested, either as a separate tank or as a fuel tank assembly.

46、SI/OPEI B71.10-2013 4 5.1.1 Leak Test Procedure (Immersion Method) (1) Seal all connections in the fuel tank sufficiently to allow pressure testing. Submerge the sealed fuel tank (assembly) in a dunk tank filled with clear water, such that the entire fuel tank is 25 mm (1 inch) to 305 mm (12 inches)

47、 under water. A fixture to support the tank is allowed but not required for this test. The tank shall be submerged so as to minimize the ability of any surface of the tank to trap air bubbles from rising to the waters surface. (2) Pressurize the fuel tank to the minimum value and hold the pressure f

48、or the minimum time period. A. Pressurized fuel tank designs shall be tested at the greater of 34.5 kPa (5 lb/in) or 1.5 times the maximum expected operating pressure for 15 seconds. OR B. For fuel tanks fundamentally operating at atmospheric pressure, Table 1 provides two test pressure options when

49、 performing a fuel tank leak test in accordance with the Immersion Method. Either test condition, as shown in Table 1, may be used to detect leaks.
