I think what you have to do is filter the rows according to measuretype
*before* you join them. Something like

select * from
(select depth, value as measuretype1_value from testtable
where measuretype = 1040) ss1
full join
(select depth, value as measuretype2_value from testtable
where measuretype = 4001) ss2
using (depth);
