COMPUTATION OF GREASE TRAPS

A Sink Size Data Metric English


Sink 1
Lenght 45 cm 17.72 inch
Width 35 cm 13.78 inch
Depth 20 cm 7.87 inch
Sink 2
Lenght cm 0.00 inch
Width cm 0.00 inch
Depth cm 0.00 inch
Sink 3
Lenght cm 0.00 inch
Width cm 0.00 inch
Depth cm 0.00 inch

Multiplying the length by the width and depth of your sink in inches. This
gives you the capacity of the sink in cubic inches.

B. Sink Capacity
Sink 1 1922.25 cubic inches
Sink 2 0.00 cubic inches
Sink 3 0.00 cubic inches
TOTAL 1922.25 cubic inches

Convert these cubic inches to gallons per minute in order to get the flow
rate. You will do this by dividing the cubic inches by 231

C. Individual Sink FLow Rate


Sink 1 8.32 gpm
Sink 2 0.00 gpm
Sink 3 0.00 gpm

Adjust for displacement i.e. the actual capacity of the sink that you will be
using, by multiplying it by 0.75. Take 100% of the largest flow rate, 50% of
the second largest and 25% of the rest and add them together

D. Computed Size of Grease Trap


Sink 1 11.10 gpm
Sink 2 0.00 gpm
Sink 3 0.00 gpm
11.10 gpm
Therefore: Use Atleast 15 GPM Stainless Steel Grease Trap
