A Note on the Influence of the Method of Support on Bursting Pressure Tests on Bottles

JSGT 1932 V16 T018-T021

 An examination was made of the results of bursting pressure tests on many types of bottle, using four methods of support. From the results obtained it was concluded that when the bottle was supported by an external neck ring holder, the seal being formed on a rubber pad, the most trustworthy results were obtained; methods using a base support proved unsatisfactory; a method of using an internal seal gave low results.
