A glass container is characterized by a longitudinal axis (L) that passes through a center of a glass bottom of the glass container. For any cut surface of the glass container that is obtainable by cutting the glass container in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis L, a minimum thickness (s) and a maximum thickness (s) of the glass bottom determined at any position having a distance d/4 or less to the longitudinal axis Land a thickness (s) is the thickness of the glass bottom determined at a position having the distance d/4 to the longitudinal axis L, the distance to the longitudinal axis Lin each case being determined in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Land thicknesses s, sand sbeing determined in a direction that is parallel to longitudinal axis L, with s/sbeing less than 1.8.

Glass containers for packaging salt or sugar-containing compositions in a frozen state

A glass container is provided having a glass tube with a first end and a second end and a glass bottom closing the second end. The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d), the neck region has an outer diameter (d) with d<d, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d) with d>d, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.

Vial with optimized neck for improved side compression performance

A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The outer surface has a topography defined by a function ĥ(x) that is an azimuthal average of a distance between a contact plane and the outer surface at any given position located on a circle having the centre and the radius |x|. The values ĥ for ĥ(x) are determined for a plurality of circles the radius of which increases stepwise by 500 μm starting with a circle around the centre having a radius of 500 μm. The values ĥ are determined in a range from x=−0.4×d/2 to x=+0.4×d/2, dhaving a size such that at least 4 values ĥ are determined and can be fitted with a curvature function

Glass container comprising a glass bottom with improved properties

A glass container is provided having a glass tube with a first end and a second end and a glass bottom closing the second end. The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d), the neck region has an outer diameter (d) with d&#x3c;d, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d) with d&#x3e;d, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.
