Although the U.S. considers the 300 and 600 ml sausage packages to be industry standards, many other options are now being used worldwide. On the lower end of the spectrum, the 40-ml size typically comes in an 18-mm-diameter sausage. This size is currently being used as a replacement for squeeze tubes for a variety of products such as threadlock adhesives, hand cleaners and product samples.
The 40-L sausage is at the other end of the spectrum. Usually packaged into a 150-mm-diameter sausage, these sausages are often intended as a liner for a reusable pail or container. They can contain materials such as drywall paste or any product that can be pumped.
