Reference mass definition

Reference mass means the mass of the vehicle in running order less the uniform mass of the driver of 75 kg and increased by a uniform mass of 100 kg.

Reference mass means the "unladen mass" of the vehicle increased by a uniform figure of 100 kg for test according to Annexes 4a and 8;

Reference mass in relation to a vehicle means the mass of the vehicle with bodywork and, in the case of a towing vehicle, with coupling device, if fitted by the manufacturer, in running order, or mass of the chassis or chassis with cab, without bodywork and/or coupling device if the manufacturer does not fit the bodywork and/or coupling device (including liquids and tools, and spare wheel if fitted, and with the fuel tank filled to 90% and the other liquid containing systems, except those for used water, to 100% of the capacity specified by the manufacturer), increased by a uniform mass of 100 kilograms;

Examples of Reference mass in a sentence

• An inertia simulator is used enabling a total inertia of the rotating masses to be obtained proportional to the reference mass within the following limits: Reference mass of vehicle RW (kg)Equivalent inertia I (kg)RW ≤ 480 If the corresponding equivalent inertia is not available on the dynamometer, the larger value closest to the vehicle reference mass will be used.

• Reference mass for chassis dynamometer setting shall be as per AIS-049 Rev 1 and Driving cycle shall be as per clause 5.1 of AIS-039 Rev 1 Fuel consumption results (in L/100 km) shall be calculated by carbon balance method for above two modes and shall be reported.Fuel consumption of vehicle retro-fitted with HES (mode b) shall be lower than that of base vehicle with HES system in off mode or disabled or inactive (mode a).

• A new, corrected updated K-Factor will be calculated based upon the RHE Totalized Mass, Reference mass and existing K-Factor.

• Reference mass concentration (Ref MC) = PM concentration of the particle-free sample stream, after passing through the purge filter.Mass concentration (MC) = Base mass concentration (Base MC) adjusted by the reference mass concentration (Ref MC) — Base MC (usually positive) minus Ref MC (negative when mass volatilizes from the filter).
