General specifications for catalytic converters of motorcycles and mopeds

1 Scope

This standard specifies the requirements, test methods, inspection rules as well as marking, packaging, transportation and storage for catalytic converters of motorcycles and mopeds.

This standard is applicable to catalytic converters of motorcycles and mopeds (hereinafter referred to as “catalytic converters”).

2 Normative references

The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments (excluding corrections) to, or revisions of any of these publications do not apply to this standard. However parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition applies.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 5181 and GB/T 18377 and the following apply.

3.1
conversion ratio (η)
ratio of the concentration change of a component in exhaust gas before and after flowing through the catalytic converter to the concentration of the component at the inlet of the catalytic converter
...
...
where,

η——the conversion ratio, %;

C——the volume concentration of pollutants;

i——the inlet of catalytic converter;

e——the outlet of catalytic converter;

j——the appropriate description of pollutants CO, HC, NOX or other components respectively.

3.2
oxygen balance coefficient (β)
in case of simulating the engine exhaust gas with standard materials, the oxygen balance coefficient β represents the nature of atmosphere environment. Oxygen balance coefficient is defined as the ratio of the volume concentration of oxygen contained in the simulated exhaust gas to the oxygen concentration required for complete oxidation of harmful gases containing carbon in the exhaust gas
