Specifies the material to be used in the manufacture of tubes together with diameters, lengths, wall thickness and thread details. Also specifies requirements for seal integrity, side-seam and shoulder welding, fill volumes, surface print restrictions and packaging.

This British Standard specifies the diameters, lengths, wall thickness and thread details for plastics/metal laminate collapsible tubes.

The material used in the manufacture of the tubes is specified as are the requirements for seal integrity, side-seam welding, shoulder welding, fill volumes, surface print restrictions and packaging.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are given on the inside back cover.
