Summary of Test MethodPractice8.1 This test method practice involves a measurement of the height of the uncrimped portion of the valve. The points betweenwhich the measurement is made are self-determining when the

18、calipers are held parallel to the side of the valve. Mean dimensionsare used in calculating the effective crimp height.9.

Procedure11.1 Select a filled bottle from the filling line at random.11.2 Mark off three points, 120 apart, on the valve ferrule, carefully avoiding areas where stake marks occur.11.3 Holding the calipers parallel to the side of the valve, place the inner jaw on the top of the valve.Apoint

This is made by the top of the

22、 collectsegment, and is the point at which direction changes abruptly and the caliper will hang up.11.4.2 Roll-capped bottles will also produce this horizontal line at the top of the crimped area. Depending upon the facialcontour of the rollers, this line may be above or at the point of abrupt direc

Letting the caliper find the point of directionchange naturally, will eliminate doubt about this measurement.11.5 Repeat this process at the other locations marked on the ferrule.11.6 Record a reasonable agreement between any two readings as the effective crimp height (Fig. 1).11.7 Meas

24、ure the diameter of the uncrimped portion of the valve. Subtract the diameter of the crimped valve skirt from thediameter of the uncrimped portion of the valve. Record this value as the crimp diameter.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate the maximum crimp height for effective crimping, M (which needs to be

25、 determined only once for any bottle andvalve combination), as follows:M 5A1B/2!1C12Dwhere:A = dimension of the bottle lip (excluding the sealing bead),B = thickness of the sealing gasket,C = thickness of the valve body flang (excluding the sealing bead), andD = thickness of the valve ferrule.12.2 W

26、hen plastic-coated bottles are used, add 0.015 to the end of the equation in 12.1 to compensate for the nominal amountof plastic expected to be present under the lip of the bottle finish.13. Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe precision of Test Methods Practice D3076 is highly dependent on the type

27、of can and aerosol valve beingtested. While inside-crimped aerosol valves can operate within a standard dimensional target, such a single target cannot be readilyobtained for outside-crimped aerosol valves. This is due to the wide tolerances of the containers and the tolerances of the valvecomponent

28、s (especially the rubber gasket) utilized in the industry. One laboratory has investigated one aerosol valve/aluminum cancombination with two replicate tests, yielding the following results:Can # Crimp Measurement (mm)1 5,162 5,23 5,264 5,45 5,36 5,357 5,258 5,27Arepresentation of a plastic-coated b

The Committee believes that because of this strong product and component material dependency, furtherinvestigation of repeatability and reproducibility is not practicable.13.2 Test Methods Practice D3076 has no bias because an accepted reference or referee value is not available.14. Keywor

32、ds14.1 aerosol packaging; crimp measurement of aerosol valves; outside-crimped aerosol valvesAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. DISCUSSIONX1.1 Analyzing the similarities and differences between effective sealing of inside crimped valves and outside crimped valves, itbecomes readily apparent that

33、the main factor to consider for effective sealing in both cases is compression of the sealing memberof the valve.X1.2 Where a standard dimension is offered to the trade for inside crimped valves, such a single dimension or dimension rangecannot readily be obtained for outside crimped valves, due to

34、wide tolerances on the essential dimensions of glass containers andthe wide variation between valves offered to the trade for glass aerosol containers.X1.2.1 In spite of this situation, the possibility of establishing crimping dimensions is not eliminated, but it becomes a little moreinvolved insofa

35、r as separate dimensions must be established for each valve-container combination.X1.3 Mean dimensions were chosen for the caliper method formula to give approximately 20 % compression of the rubber gasketon the maximum bottle. Using the same crimper adjustment, a minimum bottle can produce a neglig

36、ible flat compression, but willstill have approximately 30 % effective compression even though the glass sealing bead is non-existent.X1.3.1 In calculating compression of the rubber gasket, it is recommended that the sealing beads on both the glass and valve bodyflange be ignored to provide a small

37、safety factor.X1.4 Serum vial type crimping, where the valve does not display a crimped skirt, cannot easily be measured by means of thecalipers alone.An effective crimp height setting should be established by the optical comparator and a relative height measurement(by calipers) can be determined fr

38、om the setting that produces an acceptable compression as determined by the comparator. Thisrelative height can then be used nondestructively by quality control personnel on the filling lines to determine effective crimping.X1.5 Minimum values for crimp diameter (that is, 0.060 for 20-mm valves and

39、0.030 for 15-mm valves) are those that an effectivecrimped valve requires pressures of over 400 psi (2.7 MPa) to exert sufficient force to unseat a 20-mm valve and over 500 psi (3.4MPa) to unseat a 15-mm valve. In any case, it is desirable to press the skirt firmly against the side of the bottle for
