What is the Brimful Capacity &. Standard Capacity?
Today we will talk something about Brimful Capacity &. Standard Capacity for a aluminium bottles
The brimful capacity (Full capacity) of a bottle is the maximum capacity of the packaging to hold liquid. It is also called overflow capacity.
Standard capacity (Filling capacity) is a normal volume for commercial use, and it is normally up to the shoulder level of a bottle.
For aluminum bottles, usually, go with a 5%-7% of gap. Companies are considering 10% of the gap for pump bottles because the pump will occupy space, especially foam pumps.
How to measure Brimful capacity?
1. Estimation method: V=π*r2*H
V represents volume, π=3.14,
D: The bottom diameter of the bottle
H: The height of the bottle, usually to the shoulder
2. Software simulation: use 3D software to simulate the capacity according to the product drawings
3. Weighing method: put the bottle on the electronic scale to reset to zero, fill the bottle with water, and the weight is the volume
Comparative advantages and disadvantages of the three methods
| Method | Pro | Cons |
| Estimation | Fastest | The data is not accurate, especially for special-shaped bottles |
| Software | The data is more accurate. No samples are needed | The speed is slow, and the drawing of the product is required |
| Weighing | The fastest and most accurate | Sample needed |
