the total fill capacity is approximately five hundred and thirty two cubic inches 532 in 3 and the overflow region adds an additional eight cubic inches 8 in 3 of capacity for a total of five hundred forty cubic inches 540 in 3 the upper wall portion 54 b in the overflow region defines the upper terminus of the container that is it defines a stepped region above the planar portion 54 a of the upper surface located beneath the spout the overflow region provides increased capacity that finds particular application when fluid such as cooking oil is introduced into the container at an elevated temperature the fill line is represented by dotted line 62 fig2 and is just below the wall portion 54 a beneath the spout here however the overflow region provides additional air space if a fluid is filled at an elevated temperature for example 100 u00b0 f with time it will cool and the fill level will decrease previously manufacturers could only fill to a level below the representative fill line 62 because of the absence of any overflow region such as 60 that is the fill level was substantially below the bottom of the spout and then as it cooled over time the fluid level would be substantially below the upper surface of the container this was necessary in situations where the fluid was also raised to an even higher temperature for example during storage the temperature in some environments can reach 110 u00b0 f or greater resulting in increased pressure in the sealed container the overflow region accommodates these conditions and allows increased volume or capacity of fluid to be.
