ASTM F1047-95

Standard Specification for Frying and Braising Pans, Tilting Type

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers tilting frying and braising pans (also known as tilting skillets; hereinafter called braising pans) suitable for the preparation of foods by several methods, such as frying, braising, and boiling.
1.2 Braising pans shall be self-contained units with all required operating and safety controls ready for connection to utilities.
1.3 The values as stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are given for information only.
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 9, of this specification:This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
