Case study
Syringe tube pull-off testing
Customised engineering example
Pull-off tensile tests require careful gripping of the separating parts in order to avoid distorting them and therefore artificially weakening the joint.

Case study
End float test of inhaler cap
Requirement
'End float is the displacement in mm of a product', in this case the dispensing cap closure of the inhaler measured at a specific load.
