3 Testing Methods

3.1 Physical and Chemical Properties

3.1.1 Thermal(shock) Endurance

Test according to GB/T 4547

3.1.2 Stress
Test according to GB/T4545

3.1.3 Hydrolytic Resistance

Test according to GB/T 4548

3.2 Specification size

3.2.1 Brimful Capacity
Test according to GB/T 20858

3.2.2 bottle Height

Test by height vernier caliper with division value of 0.02mm or other height measure devices.

3.2.3 Body Outer Diameter

Test by vernier caliper with division value of 0.02mm or other outer diameter measure devices, all spots on the same
cross section should meet requirement.

3.2.4 Body Ovality

https://www.chinaglasscontainer.com/news/Glass--Containers-Food--Glass--Jar--Quality--Standard.html 4/7
1/16/2020 Glass Containers Food Glass Jar Quality Standard

Test maximum outer diameter and minimum outer diameter of same body cross section according to 3.2.3. Body ovality
should be calculated according to the following format:

O=Dmax-Dmin
*O: body ovality/mm
*Dmax: maximum body outer diameter/mm

*Dmin: minimum body outer diameter/mm

3.2.5 The Thickness of Body and Bottom

Test by thickness gauge with division value of 0.02mm

3.2.6 Thickness Difference of Same Bottom

Test maximum and minimum thickness of same bottom according to 3.2.5, the ratio should be thickness difference of
this bottom.

3.2.7 Non-parallelism of Finish with reference to Container Base

Test maximum and minimum finish height according to 3.2.2. Non-parallelism of finish with reference to container base

should be calculated according to the following format:

△H=Hmax-Hmin

*△H: Non-parallelism of finish with reference to container base/mm

*Hmax: maximum height

*Hmin: minimum height

3.2.8 Dipped Ring

Put the bottle or jar on horizontal board with bottom up, and make that stable. Test the gap between finish and board by
0.05mm feeler gauge. When the tested bottle or jar doesn’t move and feeler gauges are in inner finish, the feller gauges
stuff. The maximum thickness feeler gauges can stuff is dipped ring.

3.2.9 Finish Inner Diameter and Outer Diameter

Test by vernier caliper with division value of 0.02mm.

3.3 Appearance
Visual test away from 30cm under non-direct light. Using vernier caliper, specified measure gauge, feeler gauge and

magnifying glass if necessary.
