Wasserkopf

English translation: thin tip dome

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / medication manufacture
German term or phrase: Wasserkopf
The context here is the quality control associated with the filling of vials, ampoules etc. with medicines on a production line.

One of the fault conditions that causes these vials/ampoules to be rejected is "Wasserkopf", with no textual hint of what this means in this context.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Explanation:
I think I'd just translate dünne Kuppe and leave out the Wasserkopf.
