Texture Testing for Bakery Applications
The primary goal for using instrumentation to measure texture is to capture an objective value to something that is typically evaluated very subjectively. Texture cannot be controlled unless it measured in a consistent and repeatable manner.

ASTM F3014-14
1.1 This test method describes the procedure for penetration testing sharp and blunt needles used for the placement of surgical sutures. It only describes the test procedures (Phase 1) and does not define a test medium at this time.

Tensile Testing for Wiring Harness Connections
The only way of really knowing the strength of a crimped terminal is to pull it. This can reveal production problems, where strand nicks, incorrect crimp height, or effects from changes in terminal supply, may not be clearly apparent.
