RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

Ratings are based on SAE J1228/ISO8665
standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg) and
25° C (77° F). These ratings also apply at
ISO3046/1, DIN6271, and BS5514 conditions of
100 kPa (29.61 in Hg), 27° C (81° F), and 60%
relative humidity.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16° C
(60° F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg
(18 390 Btu/lb) when used at 29° C (85° F) and
weighing 838.9 g/liter (7.001 lbs/U.S. gal).
Additional ratings may be available for specific
customer requirements. Consult your Caterpillar
representative for additional information.
