What is a Cylinder Sleeve?

A Cylinder Sleeve is a tubular metal item designed primarily as a replaceable wear surface within the cylinder bore of a piston type internal combustion engine, compressor, or reciprocating pump.

What is an Engine Poppet Valve Push Rod?

An Engine Poppet Valve Push Rod (PUSH ROD,ENGINE POPPET VALVE) is a tubular or solid item specifically designed to transmit intermittent motion from the engine poppet valve tappet to the engine poppet valve rocker arm.

What is an Engine Poppet Valve Tappet?

An Engine Poppet Valve Tappet (TAPPET,ENGINE POPPET VALVE) is a cylindrically shaped metal item designed to transmit intermittent motion from the cam lobe on a shaft or cam ring, to the engine poppet valve. It may be mechanically or hydraulically operating, and may include adjusting devices.

What is a Diesel Engine Repair Kit?

A Diesel Engine Repair Kit (REPAIR KIT,DIESEL ENGINE) is a repair kit consisting of a group of parts and tools not having the same basic name for repairing or replacing worn parts of a diesel engine.

What is a Valve Stem Guide?

A Valve Stem Guide (GUIDE,VALVE STEM) is a replaceable cylindrical item designed to provide wear surface and maintain alignment of a reciprocating valve stem and the like, it may have a flange(s) and/or grooves.

What is an Engine Camshaft?

An Engine Camshaft (CAMSHAFT,ENGINE) is a shaft with eccentric lobe(s) specifically designed to raise at a predetermined time, the engine poppet valve(s) from the valve seat(s) of an internal combustion engine. It may include facilities for operating accessories, such as fuel pumps, ignition distributors, oil pumps, and the like. Excludes SHAFT (as modified).

What is a Piston Connecting Rod?

A Piston Connecting Rod (CONNECTING ROD,PISTON) is a device used for connecting a piston to a crankshaft or to a master connecting rod of an internal combustion engine, steam reciprocating engine, reciprocating air compressor, or the like. The rod may be connected directly to the piston, or it may transmit the motion through a crosshead.

What is a Diesel Engine Cylinder Head?

A Diesel Engine Cylinder Head (CYLINDER HEAD,DIESEL ENGINE) is an item designed to inclose the cylinder bore(s) of an engine block to form a combustion chamber(s). It may have liquid cooling passage(s) and/or air cooling fin(s) and may include valve(s), valve guide(s), rocker arm(s), injector tube(s), and the like. It is a component part of an ENGINE, DIESEL. See also CYLINDER HEAD, GASOLINE ENGINE.

What is an Engine Poppet Valve Rocker Arm?

An Engine Poppet Valve Rocker Arm (ROCKER ARM,ENGINE POPPET VALVE) is a metal item designed to pivot on a shaft, ball stud, or the like, and transmit the intermittent motion derived through linkage, from the cam lobe of a camshaft or cam ring to the poppet valve of an internal combustion engine. It may have an adjusting screw, roller, and/or bearing(s).

What is an Exhaust Manifold?

An Exhaust Manifold (MANIFOLD,EXHAUST) is a preformed metallic item with two or more inlet ports and passages, and a common outlet designed to collect and direct exhaust gases from the cylinders of an internal combustion engine.

NATO Supply Class 2815 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 28, which is dedicated to Engines, Turbines, and Components. Specifically, NATO Supply Class 2815 focuses on Diesel Engines and Components.

Diesel engines are internal combustion engines that use the heat of compression to ignite the fuel. They are commonly used in various applications, including vehicles, generators, and industrial machinery. Diesel engines are known for their efficiency, durability, and ability to generate high torque.

NATO Supply Class 2815 includes a wide range of components related to diesel engines. Some examples of components that fall under this classification are:

1. Engine blocks: The main structure of the engine that houses the cylinders, pistons, and other internal components.
2. Cylinder heads: The top part of the engine block that contains the combustion chambers and valves.
3. Pistons: The moving components within the cylinders that transfer the force of combustion to the crankshaft.
4. Crankshafts: The rotating shaft that converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion.
5. Camshafts: The shaft responsible for opening and closing the engine's valves at the appropriate times.
6. Fuel injection systems: The components that deliver fuel into the combustion chambers at the right pressure and timing.
7. Turbochargers: Devices that increase the engine's power output by compressing the incoming air.
8. Exhaust systems: Components that guide and control the flow of exhaust gases out of the engine.

These are just a few examples of the components included in NATO Supply Class 2815. The classification encompasses a wide range of parts and accessories necessary for the operation and maintenance of diesel engines.

By organizing diesel engines and components into specific supply classes, NATO aims to facilitate procurement, logistics, and standardization efforts among member nations. This classification system helps ensure compatibility and interoperability of equipment and spare parts across NATO forces.
