Case study
Pump dispenser bottle operation
Customised engineering example
As a method to dispense liquids and sprays propellants, such as pressurised gas, are avoided for many reasons. Dispensers with manual spring-loaded pumps are often used in their place.

Case study
Glass syringe Luer lock attachment pull-off
Customised engineering example
Polycarbonate Luer Lock adapters are push-fitted to glass syringe nozzles with a friction fit. Quality assurance demands that they cannot come free under normal use.

Case study
Sachet compression test
Requirement
To compress six sachets of ketchup or mayonnaise until failure of the packaging occurred.
The peak compressive force was required as the test result.
