NOTE 1. ENGINE RATING
Engine rating is based on calibrated stand performance under the following conditions:
Takeoff power is nominally independent of ambient temperature (flat rated) up to ambient temperature of: Std
+ 23 °C (38 °C, 100 °F), except as noted above.
Maximum continuous power is nominally independent of ambient temperature (flat rated) up to ambient
temperature of Std. + 22 °C (37 °C, 99 °F).
Assumptions:
1. Sea level static, standard day: 101.325 kPa Pressure (14.696 psia); 15 °C temperature (59 °F)
2. No customer bleed or customer horsepower extraction
3. Ideal inlet, 100% ram recovery, exhaust stacks
4. Fuel lower heating value of 18,400 BTU/lb (42,798 kJ/kg)
5. Relative humidity – dry day (0% RH)
6. No internal anti-ice bleed
7. Production instrumentation

NOTE 3. FUEL AND OIL PRESSURE LIMITS
Fuel Pressure Limits at The Engine Pump Inlet
The engine fuel system provides the fuel flows and pressures required for starting and operating
the engine throughout the operating envelope with the following fuel pressure provided at the
engine pump inlet:
• Minimum: true vapor pressure plus 5.25 psia
• Maximum: 50 psig
Oil Pressure Limits
• The minimum pressure limit sensed by the engine oil pressure sensor at idle is 29.9 psid
(206.2 kPa) and varies up to 43 psid (296.5 kPa) at redline.
• The maximum oil supply pump discharge pressure is limited during cold starts by a 400
psid (2758 kPa differential) pressure-relief valve.
• The oil pressure limits are defined as outlined in the Installation Manual and Operating Instructions
(See Note 15).
