Width6.1 Determine width measurements using a steel scale having divisions at a minimum of 0.5-mm (164-in.-in.) intervals.6.2

20、Test at least one specimen from each lot.6.3 Each test specimen shall be approximately 450 mm 18 in.(18 in.) in length. Place the specimens on a hard smooth surface.Measure the width perpendicular to the edge of the steel scale, at three approximately equally spaced points along the length.6.4 Repor
