RATINGS are based on SAE J1228/ISO8665

standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in. Hg),
25C (77F), and 30% relative humidity. These
ratings also apply at ISO3046/1, DIN6271/3, and
BS5514 conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in. Hg),
27C (81F), and 60% relative humidity. Ratings
are valid for air cleaner inlet temperatures up to
and including 50C (122F) and for sea water
temperatures up to and including 42C (108F) at
sea level.
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/liter
(7.001 lbs/U.S. gal). Fuel consumption shown
with all oil, fuel, and water pumps, engine
driven. For a without pumps condition, deduct
approximately 0.5% for each pump not engine
driven.
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 manufacturers engines. Actual engine performance may vary according to the particular application of the engine and
operating conditions beyond Caterpillars control.

This Caterpillar Marine Engine can be operated with air inlet temperatures up to 50C
(122F) measured at the air inlet, and fuel temperatures up to 52C (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.

Ratings are based on SAE J1228/ISO8665
standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg),
BS5514 conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg), 27C
(81F), and 60% relative humidity.
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/liter (7.001 lbs/U.S. gal).
