T and E and E dimensions dimensions are the average of two measurements across the major and minor axis. The limits of ovality will be determined by the container supplier and container customer, as necessary.

C Concentricity of I of I min min with respect to diameters T diameters T and and E E is is not included. I included. I min min is specified for filler tube only.
NOTE 1—Constriction of neck from B to D must be held within the shaded area shown. NOTE 2—A minimum of 1 1 ⁄ 8 turns of thread shall be maintained. NOTE 3—Consideration must be given to the sealing surface width for the sealing system being used. NOTE 4—When valve style closures are used with this finish, special consideration must be given to a specific controlled inside diameter. In addition, it is acceptable to vary the dimensions indicated with asterisk (*) to ensure adequate material for finishing the inside diameter. FIG. 7 SP-1 SP-110 10 Finish Finish

NOTE 1—This finish drawing was established by PBI to provide plastic bottle finishes comparable to 445, 450, and 480 glass finishes. NOTE 2—Dimension H is measured from top of the finish to the point where diameter T , extended parallel to the centerline, intersects the shoulder or bead. NOTE 3—A minimum of 1 1 ⁄ 8 turns of thread shall be maintained. NOTE 4—Contour of bead, undercut, or shoulder is optional. NOTE 5—Unless otherwise specified.
