Production basis Production Certificate No. 2. NOTE 1. Maximum permissible e ngine operating speeds for the engine rotors are as follows: JT4A-3, -5 JT4A-9, -10 JT4A-11, -12 Low pressure compressor (N1), r.p.m. 6950 7060 7160 High pressure compressor (N2), r.p.m. 9050 9135 9355 NOTE 2. Maximum permissible temperatures are as follows: JT4A-3, -5 JT4A-9, -10 JT4A-11, -12 Turbine outlet gas temperature Takeoff (5 minutes) 607°C (1125°F) 635°C (1175°F) 655°C (1211°F) Maximum continuous 500°C (932°F) 516°C (960°F) 560°C (1040°F) Maximum for acceleration (2 minutes) 607°C (1125°F) 635°C (1175°F) 649°C (1200°F) Starting ground 400°C (752°F) - - - - air 475°C (887°F) - - - - Oil Inlet 121°C (250°F) - - - - External engine components max. temperature (Limiting temperature of specific components are as specified in pertinent P&WA Installation Handbooks) NOTE 3. Fuel and oil pressu re limits are as follows: Fuel absolute pressure at inlet to engine system pump, 7.5 p.s.i. above absolute fuel vapor pressure with maximum of 55 p.s.i. above absolute ambient atmospheric pressure. For aircraft fuel systems which do not require supply pumps, the inlet pressure minimum of 1.5 p.s.i. below the fuel tank pressure should also be considered. Oil pressure At idle, 30 p.s.i. minimum Operating range, 40 to 50 p.s.i. NOTE 4. Maximum permissible air bleed extraction is as follows: Of total engine overflow: Low compressor; 1.65% at takeoff and one wide open port (2%) for all other running. High compressor; 1.5% at take off and 5.5% for all other running. For 3-engine takeoff; low comp ressor 1.9% and high compressor 2.2%. NOTE 5. These ratings are based upon static te st stand operation under the following conditions: Compressor inlet air at 59°F and 29.92 in. Hg. Jet nozzle and exhaust pipe per P&WA Drawing 283201 P&WA bellmouth on air inlet No aircraft accessory loads or air extraction No anti-icing airflow Turbine outlet gas temperature limit not exceeded At engine data plate (N 2) r.p.m. 3 E-291 NOTE 6.

Shear section should withstand 1100 pound-feet. NOTE 7. A P&WA engine mounted oil tank (P&WA Part No. 316400) is available as optional equipment at an approximate weight increase of 30 lb. NOTE 8. Power setting, power checks, and c ontrol of engine output in all operations is to be based upon P&WA engine charts referring to turbine discharge section gas pressure. Pressure probes are included in the engine assembly for this reason. NOTE 9. This engine meets FAA requirement s for adequate turbine disc integrity and rotor blade containment and does not require external armoring. NOTE 10 and 11. Deleted April 30, 1959. NOTE 12. The above engines incorporate the following detailed characteristics: JT4 model Characteristics A-3 Basic model. A-5 Same as A-3 except for decreased weight. A-9 Same as A-3 except for increas ed ratings with improved engine parts. A-10 Same as A-9 except for decreased weight. A-11 Same as A-9 except for increas ed ratings with improved engine parts. A-12 Same as A-11 except for decreased weight. NOTE 13. The serial number suffix "B" desi gnates engines for the Boeing 707 aircraft and the suffix "D" designates engines for the Douglas DC-8 aircraft. Differences in these engines involve difference in the routing of external engine lines. NOTE 14. JP-1, JP-4, and JP-5 fuels conforming to P&WA Specifi cation No. 522 and later revisions may be used separately or mixed in any proportions without adversely affecting the engine operation or power out-put. No fuel control adjustment is required when switching fuel types. Phillips PFA-55MB anti-icing additive at the use concentra tion not in excess of 0.15% volume is approved for use in fuels conforming to P&WA Specifications No. 522D. Shell ASA-3 anti-static additive at a concentration that will provide not in excess of 300 conductivity units, which is approximately equivalent to 1 p.p.m., is approved for use in fuels conforming to P&WA Specification No. 522E or later revision. NOTE 15. P&WA Turboject Engine Service Bulletin No. 238 lists approved brand oils. NOTE 16. Certain engine parts are life limited. These limits ar e listed in the FAA Approved Pratt & Whitney Aircraft JT4A Series Turbojet Engines Overhaul Manual Part No. 384887, Fits and Clearance Section. .....END.....
