ESTABLISHING PLASTIC BOTTLE FINISHES. X11 Objective XI.1.1 The following procedures are recommended as a side for establishing plastic bottle finishes. The objective is to provide a basis of common understanding for all container suppliers that may be heipful to them in developing finish «dimensions that fall outside the present range of finish dimen- sions developed and when converting glass finishes to plast X12 Determination of Finish Dimensions X12.1 H Dimensions—To determine H,use maximum H of ‘closure minus compressed liner and add an amount for desirable clearance (preferably 0.015 in. oF 0.38 mm). This will be minimum #7, For maximum dimensions, add 0.030 in. or (0.76 mm to minimum H. H dimension is measured from the top of the finish to the point where diameter T extended parallel 0 ‘centerline intersects the bead or shoulder. X1.24 J Minimum—Minimum dimension must be specified. Itshould be recognized that this is for filler tube clearance only. X1.25 S Dimension—All conventional continuous thread finishes use the SP-400 $ Dimension. When a pour-out finisl involved, the SP-100 finish should be used as a guide. X1.2.6 L Dimension—Refer to SP-410 and SP-415 finishes, ‘where a bead is used within an H dimension, X1.2.7 Use of Intemal Fitments—Special consideration should be given whenever controlled internal diameters are required because of use with internal fitments. The controlled internal diameter must provide the required interference to satisfy the functional need. Specified T and E dimensions should be maintained after insertion of te fitment. It should be ‘noted that the fitment is not a part of container Sor H dimension.(Gly 02911 -10 APPENDIX (Nonmandatory Information) Xi. ESTABLISHING PLASTIC BOTTLE FINISHES X11 Objective XI.L.1 The following procedures are recommended as a guide for establishing plastic botle finishes. The objective isto provide a basis of common understanding for all container suppliers that may be helpful to them in developing finish dimensions that fall outside the present range of finish dimen sions developed and when converting glass finishes to plastic. X12 Determination of Finish Dimensions X1.2.1 H Dimensions—Todetermine H, use maximum H of closure mins compressed liner and add an amount for desirable clearance (preferably 0.015 in. or 0.38 mm). This wll be minimum 1. For maximum H dimensions, add 0.030 in. or 0.76 mm to minimum H. H dimension is measured from the top ofthe finish o the point where diameter T extended parallel to centerline intersects the bead or shoulder. X1.2.2 T and E DimensionsTo detemine T and E dimensions, maintain maximum SP finish dimensions as shown in Tables 1-10, using the SP finish tolerances with correspond ing neck size (millimetres, X12.3 Tand E Dimensions are the average of two mea- surements across the major and minor axis. The limits of ovality will be detemnined by the container supplier and container customer, X1.24 1 Minimum—Minimum dimension must be specified. It should be recognized that this is for filer tube clearance only. X1.25 § Dimension—All conventional continuous thread finishes use the SP-400 5 Dimension. When a pour-out finish is involved, the SP-100 finish should be used as a guide. X1.2.6 L Dimension—Refer to SP-410 and SP-415 finishes. where a bead is used within an H dimension, X1.27 Use of Intemal Fiments—Special consideration should be given whenever controlled internal diameters are required because of use with internal fitments. The controlled internal diameter must provide the required interference to satisfy the functional need. Specified T and E dimensions should be maintained after insertion of the fitment. It should be noted that the fitment is not a part of container $ or H dimension, X1.28 Thread Profile—The SP-400 L style or M style profile should be utilized when continuous threads are re- quired. X1.2.9 A minimum of 1 full turn of thread should be maintained, ASTM Intemational tak no poston especing the vail o ay patent rights assoredin connection wih anyitam montoned ‘ne stand Usor fie sland are expressly abiead bat dotormran of eval 0 any auch patent gh, and te ik OF ningomont of such nts, aro eral hi own responsi Ths stands subject to evson a any time bythe responsbetacnealcommitee and must be reviowed ever ve years anc Ltnotrenod, eter repproved or wan.
