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.
668
Case study
Custom bottle cap mandrels
Customised engineering example
Plastic caps applied to bottles may be thin-walled and flexible, so that they become distorted when gripped by an operator during torque testing.
