RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

IND-A (CONTINUOUS) RATING:Continuous heavy duty service
where the engine is operated at maximum power and speed up to
100% of the time without interruption or load cycling.
Diesel Engines — up to 7.1 liter All rating conditions are
based on ISO/TR14396, inlet air standard conditions with a
total barometric pressure of 100 kPa (29.5 in Hg), with a
vapor pressure of 1 kPa (.295 in Hg), and 25°C (77°F).
Performance measured using fuel to EPA specifications in
40 CFR Part 1065 and EU specifications in Directive
97/68/EC with a density of 0.845-0.850 kg/L @ 15°C (59°F)
and fuel inlet temperature 40°C (104°F).

Diesel Engines — greater than 7.1 liter All rating conditions

are based on SAE J1995, inlet air standard conditions of 99
kPa (29.31 in Hg) dry barometer and 25°C (77°F)
temperature. Performance measured using a standard fuel
with fuel gravity of 35° API having a lower heating value of
42,780 kJ/kg (18,390 btu/lb) when used at 29°C (84.2°F)
with a density of 838.9 g/L.
