Full title and description

ISO 10193:2000 — General use light gauge metal containers — Nominal filling volumes of round cylindrical and tapered containers of up to 40 000 ml. This International Standard lists the nominal filling volumes commonly used for round cylindrical and tapered light‑gauge metal containers (metal thickness not exceeding 0.49 mm nominal).

Abstract

This standard specifies a range of nominal filling volumes in common use for round cylindrical and tapered general‑use metal containers with volumetric capacity up to 40 000 ml and nominal metal thickness ≤ 0.49 mm. It provides the standardised nominal filling sizes used in industry to promote interchangeability and consistency of packaging dimensions.

Scope

Specifies a range of nominal filling volumes in common use for round cylindrical and tapered general‑use light‑gauge metal containers of up to 40 000 ml volumetric capacity, for metal thickness not exceeding 0.49 mm nominal. The standard applies to nominal filling volumes (sizes) rather than detailed construction or testing methods.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and listing of nominal filling volumes for round cylindrical and tapered containers up to 40 000 ml.
• Applicability limited to light‑gauge metal containers (nominal metal thickness ≤ 0.49 mm).
• Promotes standardisation of filling volumes to aid manufacturing, specification and trade.
• Does not prescribe detailed construction, closure types or material testing — focuses on nominal volumetric sizes.

Typical use and users

Used by packaging designers, metal can manufacturers, product fillers (food, beverage, industrial liquids), purchasing/specification teams, standards committees and conformity bodies that reference nominal can sizes for sourcing, production and regulatory paperwork. National standards/adoption bodies and procurement specifications may also reference the nominal volumes from this standard.

Related standards

Related documents include earlier technical reports and standards from ISO/TC 52 such as ISO/TR 10193:1989 and ISO 11944:1993 (earlier/related deliverables on nominal diameters and volumes), and regional/adopted standards (for example BS EN 13025:2000 which covers nominal filling volumes for round cylindrical and tapered containers up to 40 000 ml). Other ISO standards in the same ICS group (55.120) address related container dimensions and classifications (for example ISO 10653 / ISO 10654 and other light‑gauge container standards).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10193:2000 is an International Standard that lists nominal filling volumes commonly used for round cylindrical and tapered light‑gauge metal containers up to 40 000 ml.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the nominal volumetric filling sizes (the nominal filling volumes) for round cylindrical and tapered general‑use metal containers with nominal metal thickness ≤ 0.49 mm and capacity up to 40 000 ml; it does not provide detailed construction or test methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Packaging manufacturers, can designers, product fillers, procurement/specification teams, standards committees and conformity assessment bodies use nominal volume lists to specify, procure and design containers.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10193:2000 has been withdrawn (ISO life‑cycle records and national adoption bodies indicate withdrawal actions in late 2022 / early 2023). No single direct global replacement is listed on the ISO catalogue entry; related regional standards (for example certain EN documents) and other ISO standards in ICS 55.120 cover overlapping subject matter. Users should check their national standards body for any adopted or identical replacements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the body of ISO deliverables maintained by ISO/TC 52 (Light‑gauge metal containers) and is related to earlier ISO/TR and ISO standards on nominal diameters, filling volumes and container classifications (examples: ISO/TR 10193:1989, ISO 11944:1993, ISO 10653, ISO 10654).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Nominal filling volumes; light‑gauge metal containers; cylindrical cans; tapered cans; container capacities; can sizes; packaging standards; ISO 10193.
