Diesel index
Diesel Index is just same as Cetane Number. Both denote
the Ignition propertiesof a Diesel Fuel. Just the thing is
that Cetane numberis calculated based on the
percentage of Cetane (Hexadecane) in a combustible
mixture having properties same as that of the Diesel Fuel
tested. And Diesel Index is calculated based on the fuel’s
density and distillation range.
The increase in both Diesel Index and Cetane Number
indicates good quality fuel.
