Standard Test Methods for Internal Pressure Strength of Glass Containers
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the breaking strength of glass containers when subjected to internal pressure. These test methods are intended to determine the pressure strength of containers manufactured to contain products reasonably expected to develop a sustained pressure of 138 kPa (20 psi) or greater, after processing. Two test methods are covered as follows:
| Sections | |
| Test Method A-Application of Uniform Internal Pressure for a Predetermined Period | 5-7 |
| Test Method B-Application of Internal Pressure Increasing at a Predetermined Constant Rate | 8-10 |
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 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.
