 Tin can - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tin can, also called a tin (especially in British English) or a can, is an air-tight container for the distribution or storage of goods, composed of thin metal, and requiring cutting or tearing of the metal as the means of opening.
The modern tin can is an elaboration of the invention in the decade of the 1800s by Nicolas Francois Appert; it became a consumer standard late in the same century, primarily in industrialized countries but nearly universally known elsewhere.
The flat surfaces of rimmed cans are recessed from the edge of any rim (toward the middle of the can) by about the width of the rim; the inside diameter of a rim, adjacent to this recessed surface, is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the rest of the can.
