The axial resistance of a container is its capacity to support vertical loads without suffering permanent deformations in its height. In other words, it is the minimum amount of weight that a container can support without sinking.
The axial resistance is evaluated according to the axis of the container cylinder, i.e. in the direction of the height of the container, and determines the stresses that the container must withstand during storage and transport. It is an important factor to consider in the manufacture of containers, since insufficient axial resistance can cause deformation or breakage of the container, which can affect the quality and safety of the packaged product.
The axial strength of a container depends on several factors, such as the thickness of the material used in its manufacture, the mechanical characteristics of the steel, the design of the container body and the presence of a boarding (a flange used to improve the radial strength of the container). Commercially available equipment is used to measure the axial resistance of containers, and the values may vary depending on the diameter of the container and the type of material used.
In summary, axial resistance is an important property of metal containers used to evaluate their ability to withstand vertical loads and avoid deformation or breakage during storage and transport processes.
