- 6.1 Tensile testing machine, accurate to within 1 %, in the load range used.
- 6.2 Flat face micrometer accurate to the nearest 0,01 mm.
- 6.3 Vernier caliper accurate to the nearest 0,1 mm.
- 6.4 This procedure requires load strain data in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. This is accomplished by instrumenting the specimen with longitudinal and transverse strain gauges (5 mm to 10 mm gauge length). The gauges, surface prepar...
