M70SP415 SPECIAL Plastic bottle/Jar

M70SP415 SPECIAL Plastic bottle/Jar

(OP)
Hello everyone, i'm new to all of this and needed some help, I'm a Metrology tech and started measuring threads on plastic bottle at work. I know there are advance and professional engineers on this site and i'm not an engineer yet but I had to start somewhere right. My question is there a bottle types "M70MP415" and needed to know what "M70MP415 special" means for bottle type; or where I can find the standards for this type of bottle. Not sure if its a M at the beginning refer to M type bottle, thank you any help would be most appreciated.

A pic would be useful here. You can get a general feel for the material by simply looking at the recycling number. What are you measuring and why does the specific material matter to you?

Google came up empty, which is unusual for Google, but not unusual for plastic items.

I have specified bottles to go into large instruments; the 'standards' within the plastic bottle industry are not widely disseminated and not widely observed, and '...special' means all bets are off anyway.

In most cases in my limited experience, when I used somebody's 'stock' bottle, I had to get a few samples and measure the neck in order to make a custom cap/fitting, because drawings were either not available or not legible or not even close to being correct.

If you can get documentation from the bottle supplier, that would be great. ... but I'd double check it against the actual bottle.
