Measure the width and thickness of the test pieces at minimum 5 points along the length of the marking line. If a test piece shows a

29、 difference not less than 0.1 mm between the maximum and minimum measured values in thickness or width, it shall be excluded from the test. 7.2. Unless otherwise specified, conduct the test under the standard temperature and humidity condition. 7.3. Align the clamp to tighten the test piece in such

30、way that the long axis of the clamp coincides with the extension direction of the test piece. Tighten the grips evenly and firmly to the degree necessary to prevent slippage of the test piece during the test. 7.4. Attach the extension indicator to the testing machine. 7.5. Speed of testing shall be

31、the relative rate of motion of grips. Determine chosen speed of testing by the specification for the material being tested, or by agreement between those. Apply the stress to the test piece at a speed specified in Table 2. 7.5.1. In case of Film, the speed of testing shall be calculated as follows.

32、A = B C Where, A : rate of grip separation (mm/min.) , B : initial distance between grips (mm) C : initial strain rate (mm/mmmin) The initial strain rate shall be as in table 3 unless otherwise indicated by the specification for the material being tested.
