OT exploding tins
"tim..." wrote in message ... 12 months ago, just before I scrapped the car, I went to the supermarket and bought a number of multipacks of tinned drinks Now I am suffering from these tins spontaneously "exploding" and depositing most of their contents over the floor of the cupboard. (6th one today) The thing is, there's no evidence of a hole in the tin(s) when I find the offending item, it is obvious because it is lighter than the rest but it isn't squashy, and none of the liquid remaining in the tin escapes if I tip it over what gives here? Likely just a bad batch of cans. What sort of can, aluminium or steel ? If the are aluminum, are the ones that leak standing upright or upside down ? |

Likely just a bad batch of cans. What sort of can, aluminium or steel ? If the are aluminum, are the ones that leak standing upright or upside down ali upright This article discusses some of the physics of canning beer. I doubt they would write an article about soda pop like this. https://brewingindustryguide.com/the...ing-beer-cans/ I've had soda cans leak and leave a puddle around the can (but not explode). Exploding implies the carbonation has come out of solution - or, something in there is fermenting. The carbonation comes out of solution at high temperatures. The slack volume in the can, determines what kind of a problem such will cause. You can also cause the CO2 to leave the fluid by shaking the can. But it settles after a period of time and goes back to equilibrium. In theory, the can is mechanically strong enough for the can contents in either state. Then it's a question of what kind of temperatures it can handle. Paul |

Because the internal pressure drops until it no longer is enough to force more liquid out the very small hole but still enough for the can to still feel firm. |

"Who or What is Rod Speed?"
"Who or What is Rod Speed?
Rod Speed is an entirely modern phenomenon. Essentially, Rod Speed is an insecure and worthless individual who has discovered he can enhance his own self-esteem in his own eyes by playing "the big, hard man" on the InterNet." https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/r...d-faq.2973853/ -- Richard addressing senile Rodent Speed: "**** you're thick/pathetic excuse for a troll."
