40、alculated in accordance with 9.1, until rupture occurs.8.4 Place the specimen in the testing machine in such amanner that the faces of the beam that were in contact with thetrue plane surfaces of the mold are in contact with the supportsand the center loading nose. Center the beam over thespecimen s
41、upports.8.5 Apply the load to the specimen at the speed calculated in8.3.1 (this is the cross head speed of the machine when runningwithout load) and record load deflection data. Deflection shallbe measured by either a transducer under the specimen and incontact with it at the center of the span, or
