The present invention relates to
glass container, comprising as container parts i) a top region (308); ii) a
shoulder region (307); iii) a
body region (301) with first end (302) and a second end (303), wherein the second end (303) is adjacent to the should region (307), wherein the
body region (301) has an outer
diameter di and a glass thickness si, the
body region (301) being characterized by a longitudinal axis Ltube that passes through the centre of the first and the second end (302,303); iv) a circular glass bottom (304), wherein the circular glass bottom (304) closes the body region (301) at the first end (302); v) a curved glass
heel (305) extending from an outer end (306) of the circular glass bottom (304) to the first end (302) of the body region (301); wherein, when the
glass container (300) is standing on a
support surface with the circular glass bottom (304) being in contact with the
support surface, h2 is the distance between the
support surface up to second end (303) of the body region (301); wherein the following condition is fulfilled: A×X / B=C, wherein - A is the
axial load in N, which is necessary to
break the glass container (100) to obtain fragments, - X is the normalized area in cm2 defined as h2×d1×π+d12 / 4×π, - B is the number of fragments of the
glass container (100), each fragment having a fragment area of 0.3 mm2 or more and 1.0 mm2 or less, and - C is the fracture ratio, wherein the fracture ratio C is 40 N cm2 or more, wherein B is 30 or more. The present invention also relates to a process for filling a glass container in an automated filling line and to the use of a glass container for increasing the overall equipment effectiveness in automated filling lines.
