Abstract
The 550 shp ST6 turbine engine was adapted for industrial use from the PT6 aero engine. Its performance and operating characteristics make it suited to a wide field of applications. Extensive development and test programs have been conducted on industrial features incorporated into the engine. Experience has been gained in many industrial and marine installations and some of these are dealt with in detail. The engine has shown excellent versatility and durability to date in industrial and marine use.
