Use for a variety of material testing (Caution: The MCT series is not waterproof)

Measuring strength required to press a button	Packaging heat seal strength test
- Measure the strength required to press a button - Measure push sensation	- Obtain the ideal sticking strength; not so strongthat a package cannot be opened and not so weak that a package will open by itself.

Testing push strength for removing medicine from PTP packaging	Syringe resistance test
- Test push strength required for PTP packaging for medicine. - Measure strength required to push medicine out of blister packs (PTP). Strong packaging makes removing medicine difficult. Conversely, weak packaging poses the opposite problem. Measuring the optimal strength required to push out medicine is essential.	- Measure the strength required to push down a syringe. - Check the smoothness of the plunger movement
