Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0599021A1] According to the method, each bottle is on return inspected for the presence of a predetermined degree of fatigue damage. If the degree is reached, the bottle is in each case provided with a marking which makes possible counting the further circuits of the bottle. As soon as the count has reached a predetermined value, in other words the bottle has undergone the predetermined number of fillings, the bottle is excluded on the next return. It has emerged that in this manner the life of the bottle can be anticipated with greater accuracy so that bottles can be excluded from the multiple-use circuit before they fail. <IMAGE>
