Standard Guide for Three-Piece Steel and Tinplate Straight-Wall and Necked-In Aerosol Cans (Withdrawn 2022)

Standard Guide for Three-Piece Steel and Tinplate Straight-Wall and Necked-In Aerosol Cans (Withdrawn 2022)

ABSTRACT
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.

Standard Practice for Seepage Rate of Aerosol Products

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
2.1 This practice affords a more rapid answer to the ever-present problem of mass loss during storage. It is of particular value in determining the effectiveness of valve stake and clinch seal elastomers in contact with new formulations. This practice may also be used to evaluate new valves with standard mixtures.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the determination of approximate mass loss due to valve seepage rate2 of aerosol products by the collection and measurement of gases seeping through the valve and into a special eudiometer tube, over a relatively short time period.  
1.2 It can be shown that the average refrigeration-filled aerosol product seeps to the extent of approximately 3.0 mL when the corresponding mass loss is 0.10 oz (2.9 cm3)/year. This figure is partially based on air content and is subject to variations according to filling conditions. This practice is not considered dependable when applied to pressure-filled, unpurged aerosol products.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

ASTM D3089-97(2017)(Practice)
Standard Practice for Determining the A-D Dimension of Aerosol Valve Dip Tubes

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
2.1 Using dip tubes of the correct length is helpful by enabling the user to discharge essentially all the product from the dispenser, preventing the tube from becoming jammed into an incorrect position as a result of gassing, preventing the (non-dimpled) valve cup from excessively protruding from the can plug and perhaps causing production problems at the crimper or gasser/crimper, and preventing the tube from bottoming on the flat base of some aluminum cans in such a way that a seal is made that will act to limit or stop the entry of product into the tube when the valve is actuated.  
2.2 Dip tubes that extend fully to the bottom of the dispenser, without excessive distortion, can also aid in retaining their connection to the valve body tailpiece, which may be important if the aerosol content exerts a very significant swelling action upon the dip tube plastic.  
2.3 The choice of A-D dimension is influenced by a number of factors. These factors include:  
2.3.1 Tube curvature, which may vary considerably between tubes.  
2.3.2 Variation of valve cup and valve cup gasket thickness.  
2.3.3 Elevation or suppression of the valve pedestal (thus top end of the dip tube) upon crimping.  
2.3.4 Elevation of valve pedestal during hot-tanking, only partly diminished upon subsequent cooling.  
2.3.5 Swelling (or shrinking) action of the product on the dip tube.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the rapid determination of the A-D dimension defined as the centerline dimension from the top plane of the valve mounting cup curl to the far end of the dip tube.2 See Fig. 1.  
1.2 This practice is limited to valves with 1-in. (25.4-mm) mounting cups.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

ASTM D3091-72(2016)(Practice)
Standard Practice for Safe Filling of Low-Pressure Pressurized Products

ABSTRACT
This practice covers the procedures for filling low-pressure pressurized products in laboratory research and experimental work and in commercial refrigeration and pressure filling. Propellants and chemicals should be properly stored and handled. Care should be taken when handling sealing machinery such as crimpers and seamers and aerosol containers. Safety equipment should be installed and all basic and additional safety precautions should be properly disseminated and observed.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the filling of low-pressure pressurized products, either in the laboratory or in production.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
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. For specific precautionary statements, see Section 2.

Standard Practice for Storage Testing of Aerosol Products

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
2.1 Aerosol products are subjected to storage tests to ascertain the shelf-life of the complete package, and to evaluate the degree of suitability of the valve and container components for their intended uses.  
2.2 It is impractical to promulgate a standard procedure for conducting storage tests, since variations will be necessitated by differences in the ultimate objective (for example, the primary interest of one test may be concerned with container suitability or shelf-life of a new product in an existing package, while another test may be concerned with valve evaluation).  
2.3 It follows that storage testing must be flexible enough to accommodate the small procedural changes required. Thus, this recommended practice will only set forth those principles to be observed in establishing a definite procedure, in order to allow the individual operator the prerogative of adapting these to satisfy his particular requirements.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the storage testing of aerosol products.  
1.2 There are two major types of storage tests that may be performed on aerosol products:  
1.2.1 Live Storage Tests,  where the valves are actuated and the determinations are made at relatively frequent intervals (the purpose being to simulate consumer use of aerosol dispensers), and  
1.2.2 Dead Storage Tests,  performed to simulate warehouse storage conditions when shelf-life information is sought.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.4 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. For specific precautionary statements, see Section 4.

Standard Test Method for Measuring Aspiration Potential of Aerosol Products

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method provides a means of measuring whether or not an aerosol product may present an aspiration risk if a dispensed aerosol gets into one’s mouth.  
4.2 The degree of risk for aspiration of an aerosol depends both on spray pattern as well as aerosol deposition rate.2  
4.3 This test method will be used to determine the need for child-resistant packaging of aerosol products.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers a small-scale laboratory procedure to determine the aspiration potential of aerosol products by determining spray pattern and aerosol deposition rates.  
1.2 This test method has been developed to address a need to identify which aerosol products may present an aspiration risk such that special labeling and/or child-resistant packaging would be appropriate. Studies based on this method may allow the development of a practice to identify such aerosol products.  
1.3 Although this method may be useful for testing non-pressurized aerosol products, its development has been limited to testing pressurized aerosols.  
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
