RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

D Rating (Intermittent Duty) % Load Factor: up to 50
% Time at Rated RPM: up to 16
Typical Time at Full Load: 2 hours out of 12
Typical Hour/Year: 1000 to 3000
Typical Applications: For vessels operating at rated load
and rated speed up to 16% of the time (up to 50% load
factor). Typical applications could include but are not
limited to vessels such as offshore patrol boats,
customs boats, police boats, some fishing, fireboats, or
harbor tugs. Typical operation ranges from 1000 to
3000 hours per year.

Power
at declared engine speed is in accordance with
ISO3046-1:2002E. Caterpillar maintains
ISO9001:1994/QS-9000 approved engine test facilities
to assure 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 35 API [16C (60F)] gravity
having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when
used at 29C (85F) 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 49 C (120 F) combustion air temperature
measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature up to 52 C (125F) 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.
