- 3 Terms and definitions [Go to Page]
- bearing stress at a given moment during the test
- 3.2 yield bearing strength
- 3.3 ultimate bearing strength
- 4 Principle of the method
- 5 Designation of the method
- 6 Apparatus [Go to Page]
- 6.1 Tensile testing machine, calibrated to maintain a load and displacement accuracy in tension within 1 %. There shall be the capability to record load-elongation diagrams.
