16、 calipers parallel to the side of the valve,place the inner jaw on the top of the valve.11.4 Slide the outer jaw up the valve skirt until it stops, dueto the abrupt directional change in the skirt.11.4.1 In collect-crimped bottles a line appears at the top ofthe crimped skirt area.

Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe precision of Test Methods D3076 ishighly dependent on the t

24、ype of can and aerosol valve beingtested. While inside-crimped aerosol valves can operate withina standard dimensional target, such a single target cannot bereadily obtained for outside-crimped aerosol valves. This isdue to the wide tolerances of the containers and the tolerancesof the valve compone

25、nts (especially the rubber gasket) utilizedin the industry. One laboratory has investigated one aerosolvalve/aluminum can combination with two replicate tests,yielding the following results:Can # Crimp Measurement (mm)1 5,1625,23 5,264545536 5,357 5,258 5,279 5,2210 5,311 5,3412 5,3513 5,3114 5,3615

The Committee believes that because of thisstrong product and component material dependency, furtherinvestigation of repeatability and reproducibility is not practi-cable.13.2 Test Methods D3076 has no bias because an acceptedreference or

DISCUSSIONX1.1 Analyzing the similarities and differences betweeneffective sealing of inside crimped valves and outside crimpedva

29、lves, it becomes readily apparent that the main factor toconsider for effective sealing in both cases is compression ofthe sealing member of the valve.X1.2 Where a standard dimension is offered to the trade forinside crimped valves, such a single dimension or dimensionrange cannot readily be obtaine

30、d for outside crimped valves,due to wide tolerances on the essential dimensions of glasscontainers and the wide variation between valves offered to thetrade for glass aerosol containers.X1.2.1 In spite of this situation, the possibility of establish-ing crimping dimensions is not eliminated, but it

31、becomes alittle more involved insofar as separate dimensions must beestablished for each valve-container combination.X1.3 Mean dimensions were chosen for the caliper methodformula to give approximately 20 % compression of the rubbergasket on the maximum bottle. Using the same crimperD3076 00 (2010)3

32、adjustment, a minimum bottle can produce a negligible flatcompression, but will still have approximately 30 % effectivecompression even though the glass sealing bead is non-existent.X1.3.1 In calculating compression of the rubber gasket, it isrecommended that the sealing beads on both the glass andv

33、alve body flange be ignored to provide a small safety factor.X1.4 Serum vial type crimping, where the valve does notdisplay a crimped skirt, cannot easily be measured by means ofthe calipers alone. An effective crimp height setting should beestablished by the optical comparator and a relative height

34、measurement (by calipers) can be determined from the settingthat produces an acceptable compression as determined by thecomparator. This relative height can then be used nondestruc-tively by quality control personnel on the filling lines todetermine effective crimping.X1.5 Minimum values for crimp d

35、iameter (that is, 0.060 for20-mm valves and 0.030 for 15-mm valves) are those that aneffective crimped valve requires pressures of over 400 psi (2.7MPa) to exert sufficient force to unseat a 20-mm valve and over500 psi (3.4 MPa) to unseat a 15-mm valve. In any case, it isdesirable to press the skirt
