At the start of a combustioncycle, a small specimen of the sub-samp

39、 Each analyzer is calibrated with seven fluids createdfrom blends of reference fuels, with known ICNs calculatedfrom the ICN scale; test results outside the calibration range aredetermined by extrapolating the calibration curve, but aresubject to increased uncertainty.5.
