Cetane number or CN is a measurement of the combustion quality of diesel fuel during compression ignition. Thus, it is the approximate equivalent of octane rating for gasoline (petrol). The CN is an important factor in determining the quality of diesel fuel, but not the only one; other measurements of diesel`s quality include (but are not limited....

A measure of the ease with which a liquid fuel self-ignites. Cetane number is the diesel fuel equivalent to a gasoline octane rating, and expresses the fuel's ignition quality and its suitability for spontaneous self-ignition in an engine. The fuel must ignite spontaneously and quickly after being i...

A percentage indicating the ignition quality of diesel fuels. It is actually a measure of a fuel's ignition delay. This is the time period between the start of injection and start of combustion (ignition) of the fuel. In a particular diesel engine, higher cetane fuels will have shorter ignition delay periods than lower cetane fuels. Cetane number i...
