Abstract
Apparatus and methods have been developed for evaluating grease interceptors of the type used over cooking ranges. They have been applied to an interceptor which is in common use in ships' galleys as well as restaurants. The tests include evaluation of resistance to airflow, efficiency in removing airborne grease droplets, and effectiveness of the internal cleaning mechanism. These tests are intended to be an aid in developing specifications for grease interceptors.
