Aerosol containers - Aluminium containers - Tolerances of the fundamental dimensions in connection with the clinch

This European Standard defines the critical dimensions of the location of the 25,4 mm aperture relative to the base of aerosol cans for clinching with valve cups.
The specification of the fundamental dimensions in this standard, relates to all 25,4 mm aperture aluminium and aluminium alloy cans, irrespective of size, shape and mode of manufacture; whose dimensions and tolerances fall within the dimensional scope of EN 15008.

Overview

EN 15010:2006 is a CEN European Standard that defines the critical fundamental dimensions for aluminium aerosol containers with a 25,4 mm (nominal) aperture when clinched with valve cups. It specifies the dimensional tolerances that affect closure efficiency and interchangeability between cans and valve cups. The standard applies to all 25,4 mm aperture aluminium and aluminium-alloy aerosol cans whose sizes and tolerances fall within the dimensional scope of EN 15008.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and applicability: Covers aluminium and aluminium-alloy aerosol containers with a 25,4 mm aperture, irrespective of size, shape or manufacturing method provided they fall within EN 15008 dimensional limits.
• Critical dimensions: Focuses on the location of the 25,4 mm aperture relative to the base of the can - the features that are most important for reliable clinching with valve cups.
• Tolerances specified: The standard sets tolerances for:
  • Eccentricity (aperture offset) - maximum allowed eccentricity is specified and is independent of can height.
  • Parallelism (of the aperture plane relative to the base) - measured from the upper surface of the bead; alternative, tighter tolerances apply if flowed-in gaskets are used.
  • Height (distance from base to aperture) - the standard provides height tolerances; for example, the document shows height tolerances of approximately ±0.4 mm for H ≤ 260 mm and ±0.5 mm for H > 260 mm (as given in the standard figure).
• Dimensional datum: Measurement methods reference the bead and base surfaces to ensure consistent inspection and process control.
• Purpose: Dimensions are intended as good practice for can manufacturers and as acceptance criteria for fillers and valve cup suppliers.

Applications and who uses it

• Can manufacturers use EN 15010 for process control, tooling setup and production tolerances to ensure consistent clinching performance.
• Aerosol fillers and packers rely on the tolerances for incoming goods inspection and to set swage (valve setting) parameters.
• Valve cup and closure suppliers use the defined dimensions to design compatible valve components and gasket arrangements.
• Quality engineers and test laboratories apply the standard when verifying closure integrity, interchangeability and compliance with customer specifications.
• Procurement and specification writers reference EN 15010 in supplier contracts to ensure component compatibility.
