Introduction
Interpretation of GB/T 36978—2018 National Standard of the People's Republic of China
1. Overview of the Standard
GB/T 36978—2018 is a standard formulated by China for the test method of fuel consumption of tire-type forklifts in earth-moving machinery. It is applicable to forklifts with a rated loading and unloading load greater than or equal to $8000kg. This standard was proposed by the China Machinery Industry Federation and is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Earth-moving Machinery.
2. Explanation of Key Terms
Effective work: The work done by the forklift on the test load in one working cycle under specified test conditions.
Energy efficiency value: The effective work done by the forklift per unit fuel consumption under specified test conditions.
3. Comparison of standard frameworks
| Dimensions | GB/T 36978—2018 | International comparison | Industry impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Term definition | Cleared the definitions of effective work and energy efficiency value | Aligned with international standards and unified industry language | Promoted the process of industry standardization |
| Measurement method | Specified three fuel consumption measurement methods | Meet international measurement standards | Improve data reliability |
| Evaluation indicators | Introducing energy efficiency value as a core evaluation indicator | Consistent with the global energy conservation trend | Promoting efficient use of energy |
4. Implementation suggestions
Choose the appropriate fuel type: According to the test conditions, ordinary diesel that meets the requirements of GB 252 should be used first, and ensure that the fuel density is accurately converted under $20~^{\circ}C$.
Precise calibration of measuring instruments: Ensure that the accuracy of measuring instruments such as time, temperature, and speed is within the allowable error range to avoid data deviation.
Optimize the test environment conditions: Control the relative humidity below $95\%$, the maximum wind speed does not exceed $5~\mathrm{m/s}$, and ensure that the ambient temperature is between $278~\mathrm{K}{\sim}308~\mathrm{K}$.
Data recording and analysis: Keep the decimal places according to the standard requirements, ensure the accuracy of data processing, and evaluate the performance of the equipment through energy efficiency value calculation.
