Notes
- Lids: regular mouth Ø70 mm, wide mouth Ø86 mm (the flat disc); bands are 72 and 88 mm OD. Thread on the jar: 70 mm continuous-thread finish, about 15 mm tall; 86 mm about 17 mm.
- Jars (regular mouth): half-pint 8 oz Ø65 × 95 mm; pint Ø78 × 130; quart Ø90 × 175. Wide mouth: pint Ø86 × 125; quart Ø90 × 170; half-gallon Ø110 × 240. Glass 2.5–3.5 mm.
- A printed disc that replaces the flat lid is Ø70.0 or Ø86.0 × 2 mm and clamps with the stock band: that is the pressure boundary for a jar-bodied engine or a vacuum chamber (a quart jar holds full vacuum with margin). Keep flames off the glass; the jar is the cold side.
