RATINGS AND CONDITIONS
Standby Fire Pump Ratings represent the output
which may be utilized to drive stationary fire pumps
where the pumping equipment has been sized
according to NFPA 20 guidelines and for expected
use of 30 hours per year where pump demand is
about 90% or less of the certified power. Standby
fire pump ratings are not equivalent to IND-E or any
other standard Industrial ratings.
Engine Performance Diesel Engines — 7 liter and
higher
All rating conditions are based on SAE J1995, inlet
air standard
conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in. Hg) dry barometer
and 25ºC (77ºF)
temperature. Performance measured using a
standard fuel with fuel
gravity of 35º API having a lower heating value of
42,780 kJ/kg
(18,390 btu/lb) when used at 29º C (84.2º F) with a
density of 838.9 g/L.

RATINGS AND CONDITIONS
Standby Fire Pump Ratings represent the output
which may be utilized to drive stationary fire pumps
where the pumping equipment has been sized
according to NFPA 20 guidelines and for expected
use of 30 hours per year where pump demand is
about 90% or less of the certified power. Standby
fire pump ratings are not equivalent to IND-E or any
other standard Industrial ratings.
Engine Performance Diesel Engines — 7 liter and
higher
All rating conditions are based on SAE J1995, inlet
air standard
conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in. Hg) dry barometer
and 25ºC (77ºF)
temperature. Performance measured using a
standard fuel with fuel
gravity of 35º API having a lower heating value of
42,780 kJ/kg
(18,390 btu/lb) when used at 29º C (84.2º F) with a

RATINGS AND CONDITIONS
Standby Fire Pump Ratings represent the output
which may be utilized to drive stationary fire pumps
where the pumping equipment has been sized
according to NFPA 20 guidelines and for expected
use of 30 hours per year where pump demand is
about 90% or less of the certified power. Standby
fire pump ratings are not equivalent to IND-E or any
other standard Industrial ratings.
Engine Performance Diesel Engines — 7 liter and
higher
All rating conditions are based on SAE J1995, inlet
air standard
conditions of 99 kPa (29.31 in. Hg) dry barometer
and 25ºC (77ºF)
temperature. Performance measured using a
standard fuel with fuel
gravity of 35º API having a lower heating value of
42,780 kJ/kg
(18,390 btu/lb) when used at 29º C (84.2º F) with a
density of 838.9 g/L.
