RATINGS AND CONDITIONS

IND - B For service where power and/or speed are
cyclic. Time at full load is not to exceed 80% of the duty
cycle. Typical service examples are: irrigation where
normal pump demand is 85% of engine power, oil field
mechanical pumping/drilling, stationary plant air
compressors.
Engine Performance Engine performance is corrected
to inlet air standard conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in. of
Hg) dry barometer and 250 C (770 F) temperature.
These values correspond to the standard atmospheric
pressure and temperature as shown in SAE J1995.
Performance measured using a standard fuel with fuel
gravity of 350 API having a lower heating value of
42,780 kJ/kg (18,390 BTU/lb) when used at 290 C
(84.20 F) where density is 838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal).

The corrected performance values shown for Caterpillar

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

general dimension drawings for detail
(2) Width 1108.4 mm (43.64 in) (Drawing # 7W5894 ).
