FEA 15 finishes - Gauges for height sealing bead control - Dimension 'E'
Scope of application
This data sheet describes the gauge and the method to control the height of the sealing bead of the FEA 15 or FEA 17 finish according to the E dimension as defined in standard EN 14854 - GLASS PACKAGING - DIMENSIONS OF NECK FINISHES FOR AEROSOL AND SPRAY GLASS CONTAINERS.

Document under responsibility of working group:
Flaconnage geometry
WG chair: Lorenzo PASQUALI - BORMIOLI LUIGI S.p.A.
This joint group aims to produce dedicated documentation on glass flacons for the cosmetics, perfume, and pharmacy sectors:
- Cetie 'GME'* neck finishes data sheets concerning glass crimping neck finishes (FEA), screw neck finishes, neck finishes for pumps and snap-on neck finishes, etc.
- All data sheets of the DT15 series, identifying tolerances and standard test methods applicable to molded glass flacons;
- Data sheets concerning critical visual defects of flacons, neck finishes nomenclature, etc.
- Guide of crimping recommendations.
*Initiated by the glass industry in the 1960s, the acronym 'GME' stands for 'Glass Manufacturing Experimental'. The idea was that Cetie, as an unofficial standards body, would only publish 'experimental' data sheets, before submitting these to the official standards bodies. At the same time, in the USA, the acronym 'GME' was also used. As the original meaning was lost over time, this nomenclature for Cetie's glass finishes documents has been, later on, applied to the PET finish data sheets.
