Designation: D3061 − 97 (Reapproved 2013) Standard Guide for Three-Piece Steel and Tinplate Straight-Wall and Necked-In Aerosol Cans1 This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3061; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval 2.2.1 A—inside diameter of the 1-in (25.4-mm) opening 2.2.2 B—outside diameter of the 1-in (25.4-mm) opening 2.2.3 C—distance from the top of the curl of the 1-in (25.4-mm) opening to the top of the top double seam 2.2.4 D—distance from the top of the top double seam to the bottom of the bottom double seam 2.2.5 E—distance from the top of the curl of the 1-in (25.4-mm) opening to the bottom of the bottom double seam 2.2.6 F—distance between the bottom of the top double seam and the top of the bottom double seam 2.2.7 G—curl thickness of the 1-in (25.4-mm) opening measured using the special Starrett micrometer or equivalent 2.2.8 J*—vertical distance from the maximum snap-lock diameter to the bottom of the countersink 2.2.9 K—outside diameter of the top double seam (excluding crossover) 2.2.10 L*—width of the countersink at the maximum snaplock diameter 2.2.11 M*—snap-lock undertuck 2.2.12 N*—outside diameter of the snap-lock 2.2.13 P*—snap-lock wall length, as measured vertically from the maximum snap-lock diameter to the point of maximum undertuck 2.2.14 S—vertical distance, tangent to the outside diameter of the dome double seam, from the top of the dome double seam to the necked-in area of the can sidewall 2.2.15 T—width or height of the top double seam 2.2.16 V*—body outside diameter of necked-in cans 2.2.17 W—top neck angle of the body wall Scope 1.1 In the interest of uniformity and quality, the aerosol industry has developed dimensional guidelines which are suggested for U.S three-piece steel and tin-plate aerosol cans of straight-wall and necked-in design Domestic can makers uniformly agreed to comply with these guidelines and were instrumental in their development A series of standard methods and gages were also developed to uniformly determine specific dimensions The tolerances established for these dimensions allow for can manufacturing and filling process variations 1.2 It is the purpose of this guide to provide a listing of currently manufactured aerosol can sizes as well as industry voluntary dimensional guidelines 1.3 Table and Table present the sales code diameter and height of straight-wall and necked-in three-piece aerosol cans The units in parentheses are in SI format, an alternate reference using dimensions suggested by the Metric Working Group of the Can Makers Institute They are based on International Organization for Standardization (ISO) inside diameters to the nearest whole millimetre Can heights are based on heights over the double seam (CSMA Dimension D) converted to the nearest whole millimetre 1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard Terminology 2.1 Specific dimensions used in this guide are described as follows and correspond to those associated with the crosssectional drawings of straight-wall and necked-in aerosol cans (Fig and Fig 2, respectively) NOTE 1—* Method of measurement to be agreed upon between the supplier and the user if needed 2.2 Dimensions and Definitions: Guideline Dimensions 3.1 The following tables provide guideline dimensions for straight-wall and necked-in three-piece aerosol cans (alternate tables furnish SI equivalents) This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D10 on Packaging and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D10.33 on Mechanical Dispensers
