Foreword
This Standard replaces GB/T 17590-1998 “Three-piece can with easy open end”.
Compared with GB/T 17590-1998 “Three-piece can with easy open end”, the main
changes of this Standard are as follows.
- Clarify that the applicable scope is non-carbonated can-beverage;
- Delete the content related to tin-plating (chrome) thin steel-sheet easy open end;
- Update and adjust the reference documents;
- Add the definitions for easy open three-piece can, neck-in can, straight-body can,
powder striped can, liquid striped can; delete the definition for welding-seam striped
can;
- For can-body, add the classification according to striped forms and spraying forms;
- Add 3 can-body specifications and 1 aluminum easy open end specification; and
specify the main dimensions and deviation requirements;
- The lower limits of aluminum easy open end’s breaking force and full-open force are
slightly adjusted;
- Printing quality requirements are executed in accordance with the provisions of QB/T
1877;
- Delete the content related to coating amount in inner-outer coating film performance;
the test temperature of solidifying performance of inner-outer coating films is
determined according to sterilization process requirements; for normal pressure
sterilization, it is 100°C; for high pressure sterilization, it is 121°C;
- Dry sealant mass requirements of aluminum easy open end and bottom end are
adjusted according to that the dry sealant’s density is 1.3 mg/mm3;
- Aluminum easy open end and bottom end’s compression strength AND sealing
performance requirements’ pressure values are increased to 180 kPa;
- Add the hygienic requirements;
- Specify the test condition of opening reliability.
This Standard was proposed by China Packaging Federation.
This Standard shall be under the jurisdiction of National Packaging Standardization
Technical Committee.
Three-piece can with aluminum easy open end
1 Scope
This Standard specifies requirements, testing methods, inspection regulation, symbols,
packaging, transportation and storage for three-piece can with aluminum easy open end.
This Standard is applicable to manufacturing, usage, circulating and supervision inspection
of three-piece can with aluminum easy open end, filled with non-carbonated beverages,
which is made of tinplate (chrome coated plate), aluminum alloy plate and meets
commercial sterility requirements after sealed and sterilized. For other similar products,
this Standard can be used as reference.

3 Terms, definitions and symbols
3.1 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions specified in GB/T 13040 are applicable to this Standard.
3.1.1 three-piece can with aluminum easy open end
Metal can which is formed by rolling and sealing the aluminum easy open end, bottom end
and can body.
3.1.2 necked-in can
The can with necked cross section at one end or at two ends.
3.1.3 straight-body can
Can with constant cross section from top end to bottom end without considering partial
rolling rib.
3.1.4 liquid striped can
The can of which the inner welding seam of the can body is striped by liquid coating.
3.1.5 powder striped can
The can of which the inner welding seam of the can body is striped by powder coating.
3.1.6 sprayed can
The striped can of which the inner wall is sprayed.
3.1.7 splash point
Object that is formed by extruded and ejected melting metal which is caused by high
temperature in the welding spot centre which is equal to or above iron melting point due to
over welding temperature, when moving welding.
3.1.8 cold welding
Welding when two plates to be welded have not reached plastic-welded state (only tin is
melted) due to low welding temperature. It is commonly known as pseudo welding or false
welding.
