RATINGS AND CONDITIONS

IND - A (Continuous) 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. Time at full load can be up to 100% of the
duty cycle. Typical service examples are: pumping,
ventilation, customer specs.
Engine Performance Engine performance is corrected
to inlet air standard conditions of 99 KPA (29.31 IN HG)
dry barometer and 25 deg C (77 deg 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 35 degrees API having a lower heating value
of 42,780 KJ/KG (18,390 BTU/LB) when used at 29
DEG (84.2 DEG F) where the density is 838.9 G/L
(7.001 LB/US 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 and 8665 and 2288 and 9249 and 1585,
EEC 80/1269 and DIN 70020 standard reference
conditions.
