RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

B Rating (Heavy Duty) - % Load Factor: 40 to 80
% Time at Rated RPM: up to 40
Typical Time at Full Load: 10 hours out of 12
Typical Hour/Year: 3000 to 5000
Typical Applications: For vessels operating at rated load
and rated speed up to 80% of the time with some load
cycling (40% to 80% load factor). Typical applications
could include but are not limited to vessels such as
mid-water trawlers, purse seiner, crew and supply
boats, ferries, or towboats. Typical operation ranges
from 3000 to 5000 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 [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/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 50º C (122º F) combustion air temperature
measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature up to 52º C (125ºF) 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.
