19、 of 64.3.2 Method A. For the test the tool is clamped in a suitable apparatus with lever arm. Subsequent the leverarm is balanced out. The tool is loaded with the first required load (coding per Table 1) and is pulled over thetest piece surface 40 mm with a speed of (1000 50) mm/minute. At least 20

20、scratches parallel to eachother are brought up with a distance of 2 mm. The application of the scratches is repeated perpendicular toeach other, so that the result is a scratching screen (see Figure 4). The scratching direction shall beunidirectional. The test is repeated for each additional require

21、d load, until for each load a separate scratchingscreen (see Figure 4) has been scratched. Each scratching screen shall be marked by the related code of theload per Table 1.Note: If no definition is given in the material specification or on the engineering drawing, all codes (1 to 3) shallbe execute
