Title
Specification for manufacture of glass bottles for carbonated soft drinks including carbonated water
Executive summary
Manufacturing requirements for head space, internal pressure resistance, thermal shock resistance, resistance to simulated stress, annealing, freedom from visible defects and marking of glass bottles which have a nominal capacity no greater than 1.15 litre
Abstract
This British Standard specifies manufacturing requirements for design head space, internal pressure resistance, thermal shock resistance, resistance to simulated stress, annealing, freedom from visible defects and marking of glass bottles of circular cross section, which have a nominal capacity no greater than 1.15 L, for carbonated soft drinks including carbonated water, which have a carbonation pressure not exceeding 4.7 bar when measured a 20 °C. It also specifies manufacturing requirements for refillable glass bottles which have a nominal capacity no greater than 180 mL, for carbonated soft drinks that have a carbonation pressure greater than 4.7 bar but not exceeding 5.3 bar when measured at 20 °C.
Methods of test for internal pressure resistance, thermal shock resistance, design head space and resistance to simulated stress are given in Appendix A to Appendix D.
