CONVERSIONS: (Litres = U.S. Gal x 3.785) (kWm = BHP x 0.746) (U.S. Gal = Litres x 0.2642) (BHP = kWm x 1.34)

Data shown above represent gross engine performance capabilities obtained and corrected in accordance with ISO-3046 conditions of 100 kPa (29.53 in Hg)
barometric pressure [110 m (361 ft) altitude], 25 °C (77 °F) air inlet temperature, and relative humidity of 30% with No. 2 diesel or a fuel corresponding to ASTM D2.
For TA-Luft emissions compliance, fuel specification must meet ASTM D975 No. 2-D diesel fuel with maximum 0.2% sulfur content (by weight)
and have a minimum 45 cetane number.
See reverse side for application rating guidelines.
The fuel consumption data is based on No. 2 diesel fuel weight at 0.85 kg/litre (7.1 lb/U.S. gal).
Power output curves are based on the engine operating with fuel system, water pump and lubricating oil pump; not included are battery charging alternator, fan,
optional equipment and driven components.
Engine must be applied to Cummins application guidelines and installation recommendations relevant to the product.

Reference Standards:
BS-5514 and DIN-6271 standards are based on ISO-3046.

Operation At Elevated Temperature And Altitude:

The engine may be operated at:

1500 RPM up to 3,000 ft. (1,000 m) and 104 oF (40 oC) without
power deration.

For sustained operation above these conditions, derate by 5% per 1,000 ft

(300 m), and 3% per 5 oF (4% per 5 oC).
