1.1These test methods explain the procedure for determining the ability of packages to withstand internal pressurization.

1.2The burst test increasingly pressurizes the package until the package fails.

1.3The creep test maintains a specified pressure for a specified time or until the package fails.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
