Presentation Description: In our previous session, you learned the essentials of can seaming and why seam integrity is so important to the quality of your product. Now that you understand the foundation, in this session, we’ll offer practical information on the tools, measurements, and procedures for evaluating seam quality, including internal and external examination. You’ll learn:

• How to use a double seam micrometer to measure seam height and thickness
• Proper usage of tools like the countersink gauge, sanitary can opener, and nippers
• How to measure cover hook length and body hook length
• How to perform an external examination of the seam and critical flaws to look for
• How to perform an double seam teardown for internal examination of the seam

At the end of this session, you’ll understand how to evaluate seam quality and the tools, measurements, and procedures it takes to perform it properly. In Episode 3, we’ll pull it all together with a demonstration using our own CB50 canning line.
