Thereafter, apply the load at such a rate that constantly increases the extreme fiber stressbetween 125 and 175 psi/min (0.86 and 1.21 MPa/min), when calculated in accordance with 9.1, until rupture occurs.8.4 Place the specimen in the testing machine in such a manner

45、 that the faces of the beam that were in contact with the trueplane surfaces of the mold are in contact with the supports and the center loading nose. Center the beam over the specimensupports.C580 1838.5 Apply the load to the specimen at the speed calculated in 8.3.1 (this is the cross head speed o
