GOST 10448-2014
Name in Russian:
ГОСТ 10448-2014
Reciprocating internal combustion engines. Acceptance. Test methods
Full title and description
GOST 10448-2014 — "Двигатели внутреннего сгорания поршневые. Приемка. Методы испытаний" (Reciprocating internal combustion engines — Acceptance. Test methods). The standard establishes procedures and methods for factory, periodic and special acceptance testing of reciprocating (piston) internal combustion engines, specifying required test types, conditions, measured parameters and requirements for test programmes agreed between manufacturer and customer.
Abstract
This intergovernmental (GOST) standard defines how piston internal combustion engines are accepted and tested. It covers the organization of tests (engine test stand or in-situ), categories of tests (acceptance, periodic and special), the development and agreement of test programmes, typical test procedures (power, fuel consumption, lubrication consumption, emissions, cooling performance, stability, speed-regulation and overload checks), and reporting requirements. The document includes normative references and an informative annex with example test programme content.

Scope
GOST 10448-2014 applies to reciprocating (piston) internal combustion engines intended for industrial, marine, locomotive and other stationary or propulsion uses. It specifies acceptance and testing methods to confirm conformity with technical requirements agreed between manufacturer and purchaser, and with applicable regulatory or classification society requirements. The standard is intended for use during type/production acceptance, periodic verification and for special tests requested by the customer or regulatory bodies.
Key topics and requirements
- Types of tests: acceptance (factory or on-site), periodic and special tests; requirement to prepare a test programme for each test type.
- Test conditions: recommended environmental and installation conditions, methods for simulating atmospheric and operating conditions during bench tests.
- Measured parameters and checks: output power, fuel consumption, lubricating oil consumption, cooling system performance, emissions (where required), stability of operation, starting characteristics, speed-regulation and overspeed protection, vibration and noise as relevant.
- Acceptance criteria and reporting: criteria to be agreed between manufacturer and customer; required test reports and documentation content (results, measurement methods, deviations and corrective actions).
- Reference and normative documents: cross-references to related GOSTs and technical requirements (for example GOST 10150-2014 and other normative documents governing terminology and general technical conditions).
Typical use and users
Primary users are engine manufacturers, factory test laboratories, quality and conformity assessment departments, shipyards and marine engine suppliers, locomotive and industrial engine integrators, classification societies, procurement engineers and customers specifying acceptance testing requirements. Regulators and certification bodies also use the standard as a basis for test programmes and conformity verification.
