LOCOMOTIVE ratings DEFINITIONS and conditions

Engine performance is corrected to inlet air
standard conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in Hg) dry
barometer and 25C (77F) temperature. These
values correspond to the standard atmospheric
pressure and temperature as shown in
SAE J1995.

The corrected performance values shown for

Cat engines will approximate the values
obtained when the observed performance data
is corrected to SAE J1995, ISO 3046-2 and 8665
and 2288 and 9249 and 1585, EEC 80/1269, and
DIN 70020 standard reference conditions.
