Standardspecimens are exposed to specified low temperatures fordefinite periods after which the specimens are bent in aprescribed manner and any fracture or cracking noted. Theprocedure is commo

They are therefore of a qualitative nature andmay not be closely reproducible over a range of sev

For more accuratedetermination of brittle temperature, and particularly in new specifica-tions, Test Method D746 is recommended.X1.2 ApparatusX1.2.1 Cold Chamber, of sufficient size to contain theflexing fixture when loaded with specimens

41、rmination of the exposure periodand while still in the cold chamber, move the plates of theflexing fixture as rapidly as possible from the 63.5-mm(212-in.) distance of separation to a position where they are25.4 mm (1 in.) apart. Then examine the specimens for fractureor visible cracks.NOTE X1.3Prev
