Designation:F268713An American National StandardStandard Practice forLife Cycle Cost Analysis of Commercial Food ServiceEquipment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2687;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This standard practice for life cycle cost analysis ofcommercial food service equipment is designed for producersand end-users to utilize when forecasting and(or)evaluatingthe life cycle costs of equipment by accounting for tangibledifferences in operating and maintenance costs of commercialfood service equipment.Results of the analysis detailed in thisstandard practice are intended for budgetary purposes.1.1.1 The results may also be used to compare projected lifecycle cost of different models from a single manufacturer,ormodels manufactured by multiple suppliers,or to establishwhen it is cost effective to replace a specific equipment versusincurring continued maintenance expenses.1.2 Major categories included in this analysis include totalpurchase price,service and repair costs,preventative mainte-nance costs,utility operating costs and disposal costs.Theresults may be quantified as a yearly running total and a netpresent value.1.3 Inputs for this life-cycle analysis will need to come froma variety of sources,including manufacturers,service agents,utility companies,and end users.Not all input variables needbe considered for effective analysis.To avoid skewing theresults,sections where reliable estimates are not availableshould be left out of the analysis.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2F1275 Test Method for Performance of GriddlesF1361 Test Method for Performance of Open Deep FatFryersF1484 Test Methods for Performance of Steam CookersF1496 Test Method for Performance of Convection OvensF1521 Test Methods for Performance of Range TopsF1605 Test Method for Performance of Double-SidedGriddlesF1695 Test Method for Performance of Underfired BroilersF1696 Test Method for Energy Performance of Stationary-Rack,Door-Type Commercial Dishwashing MachinesF1704 Test Method for Capture and Containment Perfor-mance of Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Ventilation Sys-temsF1784 Test Method for Performance of a Pasta CookerF1785 Test Method for Performance of Steam KettlesF1786 Test Method for Performance of Braising PansF1787 Test Method for Performance of Rotisserie OvensF1817 Test Method for Performance of Conveyor OvensF1920 Test Method for Performance of Rack Conveyor,Commercial Dishwashing MachinesF1964 Test Method for Performance of Pressure FryersF1965 Test Method for Performance of Deck OvensF1991 Test Method for Performance of Chinese(Wok)RangesF2022 Test Method for Performance of Booster HeatersF2093 Test Method for Performance of Rack OvensF2140 Test Method for Performance of Hot Food HoldingCabinetsF2141 Test Method for Performance of Self-Serve Hot DeliCasesF2142 Test Method for Performance of Drawer WarmersF2143 Test Method for Performance of Refrigerated Buffetand Preparation TablesF2144 Test Method for Performance of Large Open VatFryersF2237 Test Method for Performance of Upright OverfiredBroilersF2238 Test Method for Performance of Rapid Cook OvensF2239 Test Method for Performance of Conveyor BroilersF2324 Test Method for Prerinse Spray ValvesF2379 Test Method for Energy Performance of PoweredOpen Warewashing SinksF2380 Test Method for Performance of Conveyor Toasters1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F26 on FoodService Equipment and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F26.05 on LifeCycle Cost and Sustainability.Current edition approved June 1,2013.Published August 2013.Originallyapproved in 2007.Last previous edition approved in 2007 as F2687 07.DOI:10.1520/F2687-13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 F2472 Test Method for Performance of Staff-Serve Hot DeliCasesF2473 Test Method for Performance of Water-Bath Rether-malizersF2474 Test Method for Heat Gain to Space Performance ofCommercial Kitchen Ventilation/Appliance SystemsF2519 Test Method for Grease Particle Capture Efficiency ofCommercial Kitchen Filters and ExtractorsF2644 Test Method for Performance of Commercial PatioHeatersF2795 Test Method for Performance of Self-Contained SoftServe and Shake FreezersF2861 Test
