RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

Ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard
conditions of 29.61 in Hg (100 kPa) and 77 F
(25 C). These ratings also apply at DIN6270
standard conditions of 28.97 in Hg (97.8 kPa)
and 68 F (20 C).

Fuel rates are based on power requirements

of fuel oil having an HHV of 19 590 Btu/Ib
(45 570 kJ/kg) and weighing 7.076 Ib/U.S. gal
(848 g/liter).

Materials and specifications are subject to change without notice.
