4 Apparatus
4.1 Test rig
In accordance with Figures 1 and 2, comprising a flat rigid base plate and adjustable side frame with internal dimensions of 302 mm x 302 mm. The side frame shall be rigid and 50 mm ± 5 mm in height. The test rig shall allow the measurement of the distance between the test specimen and a fixed guide bar in three positions in two directions at 900 to each other to an accuracy of ±1 mm. The minimum distance between the top of the test specimen and reference bar shall he 100 mm. The measurement positions shall be:
— over the centre of the test specimen; and
— 10 mm ± 2 mm from the edge of the test specimen in each direction.BS EN 17326 pdf download.
