ASTM-D3061 › Standard Guide for Three-Piece Steel and Tinplate Straight-Wall and Necked-In Aerosol Cans (Withdrawn 2022)
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
This guide establishes the dimensional guidelines for U.S. three-piece steel and tin-plate aerosol cans of straight-wall and necked-in designs. It is the purpose of this guide to provide a listing of currently manufactured aerosol can sizes as well as industry voluntary dimensional guidelines. Presented here are the sales code diameter and height of straight-wall and necked-in three-piece aerosol cans. Also provided here are the straight-wall aerosol can heights and curl dimensions, comparable information for necked-in aerosol cans, and the dimensions of top end and body which are critical for overcap fit. The tolerances established for these dimensions allow for can manufacturing and filling process variations.
Scope
1.1 In the interest of uniformity and quality, the aerosol industry has developed dimensional guidelines which are suggested for U.S. three-piece steel and tin-plate aerosol cans of straight-wall and necked-in design. Domestic can makers uniformly agreed to comply with these guidelines and were instrumental in their development. A series of standard methods and gages were also developed to uniformly determine specific dimensions. The tolerances established for these dimensions allow for can manufacturing and filling process variations.
1.2 It is the purpose of this guide to provide a listing of currently manufactured aerosol can sizes as well as industry voluntary dimensional guidelines.
1.3 Table 1 and Table 2 present the sales code diameter and height of straight-wall and necked-in three-piece aerosol cans. The units in parentheses are in SI format, an alternate reference using dimensions suggested by the Metric Working Group of the Can Makers Institute. They are based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) inside diameters to the nearest whole millimetre. Can heights are based on heights over the double seam (CSMA Dimension D) converted to the nearest whole millimetre.
