DIMENSIONS RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

D RATING – Planing hull vessels such as offshore
patrol boats, customs, police, and some fire and
fishing boats. Also used for bow and stern
thrusters.
2052.6 mm
(80.8 in)
RATINGS are based on SAE J1228/ISO8665
standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg),
25° C (77° F), and 30% relative humidity. These
ratings also apply at ISO3046/1, DIN6271/3, and
3690.4 mm 1703.0 mm
(145.3 in) (67.1 in) BS5514 conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg), 27° C
(81° F), and 60% relative humidity. Ratings are
valid for air cleaner inlet temperatures up to and
including 50° C (122° F) and for sea water
temperatures up to and including 42° C (108° F)
at sea level.
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/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.
