23、 . . . . . . . . . . 8iiiFOREWORDIn 1994, the Plumbing and Drainage Institute (PDI) agreed to work with the American Society of Mechanical Engineersfor the development of this Standard. This Standard includes criteria for testing and rating of grease interceptors; generalrequirements for these appur

24、tenances; and an appendix of valuable sizing, installation, and maintenance data.PDI has a membership of organizations that manufacture products for the plumbing industry. The basic aim of PDI is tocontribute its combined talents and resources to the advancement of plumbing engineering and the plumb

25、ing industry.This Standard was developed with the assistance of PDI.For more than a century, grease interceptors have been used in plumbing wastewater systems to permit free flow ofdrainage from sinks and similar equipment and to prevent grease accumulations from clogging connecting piping andsewer

26、lines. In 1883, one Nathaniel T. Whiting of California applied for a patent on a grease trap, which was issued inOctober 1884. Whitings design principle does not differ greatly from present-day grease interceptors.For the next 50 years, there was no coordinated effort to standardize ratings, or to e

27、stablish performance requirementsfor grease interceptors. Ratings were determined by each manufacturer for its interceptors, which were produced in avariety of sizes and types in an effort to meet engineers specifications and satisfy code requirements.In late 1940 and early 1941, prior to the United

28、 States entry into World War II, grease interceptors were specified forArmy posts to meet specifications of the Construction Division, Office of the Quartermaster General. These specificationscalled for interceptors, which proved inadequate; it immediately became apparent that a comprehensive engine

29、ering andtesting program was needed to properly rate grease interceptors. Apart from prevention of sewage systems clogging,properly rated and sized grease interceptors were essential to the recovery of oils and grease so badly needed for the wareffort. As a result, a series of conferences involving

30、the Research Committee of the Plumbing and Drainage ManufacturersAssociation (now PDI), representatives of the Quartermaster General, Surgeon General, Army Corps of Engineers, andothers were held to develop a testing program to establish flow rates and grease holding capacity for uniform rating ofgr

31、ease interceptors manufactured at that time.The program that emerged from these conferences included exhaustive laboratory testing of each grease interceptor atthe Iowa Institute of HydrauIic Research at Iowa State University. This phase of the program was covered in a compre-hensive report issued i

32、n August 1945. Using the guidelines established in Iowa, the Research Committee continued thetesting program at the United States Testing Company, Inc., which culminated in the publication of Standard PDI-G101 in1949 and the rating of applicable grease interceptors.Since its initial publication, Sta

33、ndard PDI-G101 has been widely accepted and is referenced in most plumbing codes. Ithas been reprinted in its original format many times.PDI currently maintains a grease interceptor testing, rating, and certification facility. This revision includes thefollowing changes to the 2018 edition of the st

34、andard:(a) adds sizes above 100 gpm(b) include a new drawing to show additions for testing 75 and 100 gpm sizes and larger(c) eliminate efficiency “B”(d) add definition for hydromechanical grease interceptor(e) add additional sizing, see Table 3 based on maximum flow for pipe capacityThe Committee r

35、ecognizes that a number of sewerage treatment communities and other jurisdictions have establishedvarious maximum limits of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in the waste stream. The most common of these is 100 mg/L or 100gpm. The Committee decided that until a specific maximum limit is universally acce

36、pted, no number should be included inthe Standard.ASME A112.14.3 was approved as an American National Standard on January 10, 2018.ivASME A112 COMMITTEEStandardization of Plumbing Materials and Equipment(The following is the roster of the Committee at the time of approval of this Standard.)STANDARDS
