Rating Conditions:Ratings are based upon ISO 8665 and SAE J1228 reference conditions;air pressure of 100kPa
[29.612 in.Hg] air temperature 25°C [77°F] and 30% relative humidity.Power is rated in accordance with IMCI
prodedures.
Fuel consumption is based on fuel of 35° API gravity at 16°C (60°F) having LHV of 42,780 kj/kg (18,390 Btu/lb)
and weighing 838.9 g/liter (7.001 lb/U.S.gal).
Propeller Shaft Power represents the net power available after typical reverse/reduction gear losses and is 97%
of rated power.
1. Brake power 4. Fuel Consumption for Brake and Shaft power.
2. Shaft power with Reverse / Reduction Gear 5. Fuel Consumption for Typical Propeller.
3. Typical Propeller Power Curve (3.0 exponent)
Continuous Rating: This power rating is intended for continuous use in applications requiring uninterrupted
service at full power. This rating is an ISO3046 Standard Power Rating.
