Cap Thread Finishes: (GPI) Screw thread cap sizes are expressed in two numbers, which refer to the cap diameter (in millimeters) the GPI finish (at the top of the container). For example, a size 38-430 cap has a diameter of 38 mm, fits a container with a 430 GPI thread finish. GPI refers to the “Glass Packaging Institute” which is responsible for establishing issuing uniform standards regarding the types of finishes produced by American Glass Manufactures. The cap industry has not standard on dimensions the way the glass industry has it usually advantageous to buy both glass cap from the same supplier whenever possible. Similar to the glass industry when cap finish is designated as 38-430, it means that the nominal diameter measured across the inside of the cap at the opening is approx. 38mm. The 430 designates a specific style of thread. The thread finish of the cap glass must be the same. A glass with a 38-430 thread finish should be used with a cap that has a 38-430 thread finish. As a result the length of the cap may vary slightly from GPI’s published values. Please review the charts. The dimensions are in inches. Determining Cap’s Thread Finish Style: To determine the cap size, place a ruler across the cap opening read from one side of the inner wall to the opposite side of the inner wall. Compare this number to the numbers found in the “T” dimension columns in the table above. Once this number is found in the table, follow the row to the far left to find the “Nominal Diameter” of the cap. To determine the specific style of thread, measure the depth of the cap from the liner surface to the outside edge of the cap. Compare this to the numbers found in the “H” dimension columns in the table above that appear in the same row as the Nominal Diameter of the cap. Once this number is found in the table, follow the column to the top to find the specific style number. The dimensions in the tables are approximate will pr
