Rated RPM
It is a known fact that weather conditions exert a profound effect on power output of internal
combustion engines. Therefore, established horsepower ratings refer to the power that the
engine will produce at its rated rpm under a specific combination of weather conditions.
Corporations internationally have settled on adoption of I.S.O. (International Standards Or-
ganization) engine test standards, as set forth in I.S.O. 3046 standardizing the computation
of horsepower from data obtained on the dynamometer, correcting all values to the power
that the engine will produce at sea level, at 30% relative humidity at 77° F (25° C) tempera-
ture and a barometric pressure of 29.61 inches of mercury.
