What Are Capacity Rating Factors?
In a capacity rating, one person is an average adult (male and female). However, women can use three to four times more toilet paper than men, as women use toilet paper after urinating and men usually do not. The table shows the capacity rating developing by one study.
Urine and Feces Produced by Average Northern European Adult
Time | Urine Produced | Feces Produced |
Daily | 40.6 oz) | 20.3 oz (0.6 liters) |
Yearly | 1558 gal (5897.67 l) | 57.9 gal (219.18 l) |
Performance rating organizations take into account population equivalents (p.e.), which are the average number of excrement events produced by an average adult person in one 24-hour period. For this standard, one p.e. is defined as 1.2 fecal events and four urine events per person per day.
The term “excrement” refers to a combination of urine and feces.
