5 Test Method
5. 1 Specification
5.1.1 Capacity
Use a weighing apparatus whose sensitivity is 1g to weigh empty bottles. Then pour in water of indoor temperature and weigh again. Minus the former from the latter value and convert the unit to ml (1g weight of water is close to 1ml).
5.1.2 Sizes
5.1.2.1 Body OD
Measure the middle part of body with a slide caliper through any angles of the same level (quantitative detection), then calculate the body OD by averaging the max. and min. value.

Measure with a height gage (quantitative detection) or with a limit gauge (qualitative detection).
5.1.2.3 Bottle head height (top of mouth), measure with a height gauge or slide caliper.
5.1.2.4 Mouth OD(Screw OD)
Measure with a slide caliper (quantitative detection) or with a limit gauge (qualitative detection).
5.1.2.5 Mouth (Neck) ID
Measure with a special inserting gauge or caliper. The insertion depth of bottle ID gauge should be no less than the length of inner stopper or the insertion depth of filling tube.
5.1.2.6 Thickness of The Wall and Bottom
Measure with thickness gauge or cut the bottle in two and measure with slide caliper.
