Test Methods5.1 ScopeThis Scratch Test Method is designed to ensure
12、that residual stress is reduced to a commercially acceptablelevel in annealed soda-lime-silicate glass containers that areintended for use as candle containers. It provides an alternativemethod to Test Methods C148. Two methods of performing theScratch Test are covered:5.1.1 Test Method AScratch Tes

A new piece of emerypaper/cloth is to be used for every piece tested.5.4.3 After using either method A or B, fill each article withwater at the same room temperature as the glass. Wait fifteenminutes, then empty the water and exami
