The SAE J2027 standard, developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), describes the performance requirements of protective caps for gasoline fuel pipes. The final performance of the protective cap is highly dependent on the interaction of the fuel line piping and the protective cap. It is therefore recommended that certain pipe and cap combinations be tested as an assembly to qualify for this standard. This standard is intended to provide engineer guidance on key performance parameters for protective caps for gasoline fuel piping.
The SAE J2027 standard is designed to allow the selection of predetermined performance levels for these key performance parameters. The engineer can select a specification using a line call notation, which will display the relevant characteristics of the closure material or pipe / closure assembly and their corresponding performance criteria. However, the engineer does not need to select every feature, but only the ones that are considered important for the application. Features that are not included in this standard and are considered important for the engineer should be added using standard annexes.
This standard may contain hazardous materials, processes and equipment. This standard does not address security issues for use. It is the responsibility of those implementing this standard to establish and apply appropriate safety and health practices prior to use and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions.
Briefly, this standard covers low-permeability hoses and caps for use in all fuel systems, including fuel injection. Such hoses are approved for use with biodiesel, including methanol, ethanol, gasoline, diesel, soybean methyl ester, rapeseed methyl ester, palm methyl ester. These hoses provide the highest fuel efficiency while keeping the fuel away from the environment.
Polyurethane is different from most other thermoplastics. It has exceptional resistance to gasoline, oil, kerosene and other petroleum-based chemicals. Therefore, polyurethane pipes and hoses are an ideal choice for fuel lines.
Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer testing services for protective caps for gasoline fuel line pipes in accordance with the SAE J2027 standard, thanks to our trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
