An aerosol can expert witness can examine where the container opened or deformed, the condition of seams and domes, corrosion or thinning, the valve and crimp, remaining product, and comparable cans from the same or similar production lot. Pressure, fill, manufacturing, storage, and incident records can then be compared with the physical evidence to investigate the sequence and mechanism of failure.
The valve assembly must remain securely attached to the container while maintaining the intended seal under internal pressure. Evidence of an uneven or damaged crimp, deformation around the valve mounting area, leakage, or assembly variation may therefore be significant. Production specifications and quality-control measurements can help determine whether the observed condition was isolated or associated with manufacturing.
Temperature can change the pressure conditions inside a filled aerosol container. An investigation may therefore consider heat exposure, storage conditions, product and propellant characteristics, container strength, and evidence of bulging, leakage, or rupture. These factors are considered together rather than assuming that pressure alone explains the incident.
Useful records may include container and valve specifications, propellant and formulation information, fill weights, pressure settings, crimp measurements, leak-test results, water-bath or other production testing, lot records, quality-control exceptions, and prior complaints. Linking those records to the particular can or production run can help establish whether the physical evidence reflects a broader production issue or a later condition.
