The objects of testing under this Code is the determination of: (a) Net power output; and (b) Rate of fuel consumption and/or energy input. Application of this Code is limited to engine assemblies as defined by Code Engine Assembly: In the absence of specified stipulations the engine assembly to be tested shall consist of the engine complete with essential apparatus for self sustained continuous operation.
