Filled Can Weight and Tolerance

[liebz15]

My can + lid weighs 16 grams. 12 FL-OZ of water weighs approximately 354.84 grams. So my final can weight should be approximately 370 grams, correct? If not, what do you get for your finished 12-oz cans? Also, is there +/- tolerance that is acceptable? For example, my first run I am getting filled cans that weigh approximately 368 grams, is that acceptable?

Any help anyone with more experience can lend would be most appreciated. Cheers!

TTB acceptable fill level range for a 12 oz can is 358-378 grams. Industry standard excellent is plus or minus 3 grams from 368 grams. Lowest acceptable is plus or minus 10 grams from median.
