RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

A Rating (Unrestricted Continuous) - Power

% Load Factor: 80 to 100
% Time at Rated RPM: up to 80
Typical Time at Full Load: No Limit
Typical Hour/Year: 5000 to 8000
Typical Applications: For vessels operating at rated load
and rated speed up to 100% of the time without
interruption or load cycling (80% to 100% load factor).
Typical applications could include but are not limited to
vessels such as freighters, tugboats, bottom drag
trawlers, or deep river tugboats. Typical operation
ranges from 5000 to 8000 hours per year.
at declared engine speed is in accordance with
ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test facilities
to assure accurate calibration of test equipment.
Electronically controlled engines are set at the factory at
the advertised power corrected to standard ambient
conditions. The published fuel consumption rates are in
accordance with ISO3046-1:2002E.
Fuel rates
are based on fuel oil of 35º API [16ºC (60ºF)] gravity
having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when
used at 29ºC (85ºF) and weighing 838.9 g/L (7.001
lb/U.S. gal). Additional ratings may be available for
specific customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.

Performance data is calculated in accordance with tolerances and conditions stated in this specification sheet and is
only intended for purposes of comparison with other manufacturer's engines. Actual engine performance may vary
according to the particular application of the engine and operating conditions beyond Caterpillar's control.

Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard tolerances up to 49º C (120º F) combustion air temperature
measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature up to 52º C (125ºF) measured at the fuel filter base. Power
rated in accordance with NMMA procedure as crankshaft power. Reduce crankshaft power by 3% for propeller shaft
power.
