Rated Conditions: Ratings are based upon ISO 8665 and SAE J1228 reference conditions; air pressure of 100 kPa [29.612 in Hg], air temperature 25deg. C [77 deg. F] and 30% relative
humidy. Power is in accordance with IMCI procedure. Member NMMA.
Rated Curves (upper) represents rated power at the crankshaft for mature gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with ISO 3046. Propeller Curve
(lower) is based on a typical fixed propeller demand curve using a 3.0 exp
Fuel Consumption is based on fuel of 35 deg. API gravity at 16 deg C [60 deg. F] having LHV of 42,780 kj/kg [18390 Btu/lb] and weighing 838.9 g/liter [7.001 lb/U.S. gal]
Government Service Rating: This Rating is for use in variable load applications where full power is limited to one (1) hour out of every eight (8) hours of operation. Also, reduced power
must be at or below 200 RPM of the maximum rated RPM. This rating is only for use in National, State,or Local government non-revenue producing applications.
