In case of a major breakdown the entire test shall be repeated from the beginning on another engine. For this purpose a minor breakdown is one which requires normal service adjustments and replacements as recommended by the manufacturer and a major breakdown is one which requires complete overhaul and changing of parts not covered by normal service adjustments and replacements. The major breakdown will also mean the breakdown or replacement of any of the critical components of the engine listed in IS: 10000 ( Part VI )-1980 Methods of tests for internal combustion engines: Part VI Recording of test results. 2.6 During the endurance tests, periodic checks conform to the specifications of the manufacturers. 3.

3.1 Test Procedure-The test shall be conducted after the initial performance test and the speed limiter or governor check as specified in IS : 10000 ( Part VIII )-1980. The test shall last for a total of 100 hours running time and shall consist of non-stop running periods of 10 hours duration with not less than 2 hours stoppage between consecutive running periods. 3.2 Each running period shall consist of five cycles of two hours sequence of engine running conditions: a) 50 minutes b), 45 minutes c) 5 minutes d) 20 minutes 3.3 During at 75 percent of full at full at idling; at full and load at declared maximum speed. shall be used. load at the declared duration made up [of the following

While IS : 1600 and IS : 1602 covered the codes for type testing of constant and variable speed engines respectively, the performance requirements of such engines were covered by IS : 1601 and These standards are replaced by two sets of standards, one set covers the IS : 1603 respectively. methods of testing of engines and the other covers the specification and performance requirements of both constant speed and variable speed engines. The standard covering methods of tests for Internal combustion engines is being in the following 12 parts (each part covering a particular test method or information methods of tests ): i) IS : 10000 (-Part I ) Glossary ii) IS : 10000 ( Part II ) Standard iii) of terms relating reference to test methods published related to
