The canister is actually pressurized to balance the pressure inside the container with the pressure inside the tennis balls. This will prevent the balls from going flat. The pressure inside the balls is 12 psi over the normal air pressure (for comparison, the pressure in a car tire might be something like 32 psi). The rubber shell of a tennis ball isn't enough by itself to keep the ball bouncing high, so the pressurized air inside the ball makes it springier. Even though the rubber shell may seem impermeable to air, it isn't. It slowly lets out air until the pressure inside the ball equals the air pressure around it. The pressurized can prevents this from happening until it's opened.

What is the hazardous waste code for aerosol cans?
The hazardous waste code for aerosol cans is typically D001, which classifies them as a hazardous waste due to their ignitability. Aerosol cans can be dangerous if not disposed of properly due to their pressurized contents and potential to explode.
How does silly string cans work with pressure?
The contents in the can are pressurized. When you push the button down, the high pressure propellant in the can naturally wants to flow out into the lower pressure area outside of the can. The silly string is forced out along with the propellant.
How are soda cans produced?
Soda cans are typically produced using a process called deep drawing. A sheet of aluminum is fed into a press, where it is formed into the shape of a can. The top and bottom of the can are then attached, usually by welding, and the can is cleaned, filled with soda, and sealed before being packaged for distribution.
What is soda gas?
Soda gas is another term for carbon dioxide gas, which is used in carbonated beverages like soda to create the bubbly or fizzy texture. It is the gas responsible for the pressurized content in soda cans and bottles.
What if you store a spray can near a source of heat?
Storing a spray can near a source of heat can cause the contents to expand and increase pressure inside the can, which may lead to the can exploding or leaking. This is especially dangerous for flammable or pressurized substances commonly found in spray cans. It is important to store spray cans in a cool, well-ventilated area away from any potential sources of heat or flames.
Why is a tennis ball sold in a pressurized can?
Tennis balls are sold in pressurized cans so the air stays in the tennis balls. After every hit, a tiny bit of air will leave the tennis ball (also when just lying around).
Can you bring pressurized cans on a plane?
Yes, pressurized cans such as aerosol cans are allowed on a plane in checked baggage, but there are restrictions on the size and quantity. It is recommended to check with the airline for specific guidelines before packing them.
Why is butane sold in pressurized cans?
Butane is sold in pressurized cans because it is a highly volatile and flammable gas. By keeping it in a pressurized container, the gas is compressed, which increases its stability and reduces the risk of accidental ignition or leaks. The pressurized cans also allow for easy and controlled release of the butane when needed.
How is space food packaged?
Space food is most packaged in cans and tins. This makes their disposal easy and convenient.
How much does one tennis ball cost?
Pretty sure that it is hard to find 1 tennis ball, because they come in cans of three which can cost various amounts of money from like 90 cents to dollar amounts, depending on the quality of the balls
Do beer cans explode on an airplane?
nope, the luggage compartment as well as the cabin are both pressurized.
What type of cans were primarily used to can food products?
Vegetables, pet food, aerosol cans, fruit and fruit juices, seafoods, and baby food were all commonly packaged in steel cans.
Why do they sell water in bottles and not in cans?
At a guess I would assume that water is not carbonated and therefore doesn't need to be pressurized in a can.
Who makes the tennis ball cans like Head and Wilson?
penn
What do you call the balls in spray paint cans?
Its called a pea
What is the hazardous waste code for aerosol cans?
The hazardous waste code for aerosol cans is typically D001, which classifies them as a hazardous waste due to their ignitability. Aerosol cans can be dangerous if not disposed of properly due to their pressurized contents and potential to explode.
How was food packaged in World War 2?
Food was packaged in cans and freeze dried bags. The military also used rationing to help drive up availability of food for the military.
