RATING DEFINITIONS AND CONDITIONS

A Rating (Unrestricted Continuous)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at rated
load and rated speed up to 100% of the time without
interruption or load cycling (80% to 100% load factor).
Typical applications could include but are not limited to
vessels such as freighters, tugboats, bottom trawlers, or
deep river tugboats. Typical operation ranges from 5000
to 8000 hours per year.
B Rating (Heavy Duty)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at rated load
and rated speed up to 80% of the time, or 10 hours out
of 12, 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.
C Rating (Maximum Continuous)
Typical applications: For vessels operating at rated load
and rated speed up to 50% of the time, or 6 hours out
of 12, with cyclical load and speed (20% to 80% load

factor). Typical applications could include but are not

limited to vessels such as ferries, harbor tugs, fishing
boats, offshore service boats, displacement hull yachts,
or short trip coastal freighters. Typical operation ranges
from 2000 to 4000 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 accurate 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.
Fuel rates are based on fuel oil of 35 API [16C (60F)]
gravity having an LHVof 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb)
when used at 29C (85F) 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 manufacturers engines. Actual engine performance may vary according to the particular application of the engine and operating
conditions beyond Caterpillars control.
Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard tolerances up to 50C (122F) combustion air temperature measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel
temperature 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.
