RATINGS AND CONDITIONS 298 bkW/400 bhp @ 1800 rpm

IND - C (Intermittent) Intermittent service where Engine Performance Engine performance is

maximum power and/or speed are cyclic. The corrected to inlet air standard conditions of 99 KPA
power and speed capability of the engine can be (29.31 IN HG) dry barometer and 25 deg C (77 deg F)
utilized for one uninterrupted hour followed by one temperature. These values correspond to the
hour of operation at or below IND - A. Time at full standard atmospheric pressure and temperature as
load is not to exceed 50% of the duty cycle. Typical shown in SAE J1995.
service examples are: agricultural tractors,
harvesters and combines, off highway trucks, fire Performance measured using a standard fuel with
pump application power, blast hole drills, rock fuel gravity of 35 degrees API having a lower
crushers and wood chippers with high torque rise, heating value of 42,780 KJ/KG (18,390 BTU/LB) when
and oil field hosting. 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
