Prototype development of self-closing volumetric faucet

Abstract

This thesis involved the studies of product development process and prototype development of self-closing volumetric faucet. The customer requirement were identified by quality function deployment technique and the prototype was developed accordingly to proof the concept. The volumetric faucet prototype was tested for finding average water volume, average moment opening requirement, and moment to release ratchet lock mechanism. From testing volumetric faucet prototype, average water volume is 239 liter, volume deviation is 2.22%, average moment for open volumetric faucet is 0.70 net won- metre, and average moment for release ratchet lock is 0.118 newton-metre.
