(0.3N-m) within a period of5sinaclockwise direction until eitherthe component rotates 180 from the original position or atorque of 3 lbf-in. (0.3 N-m) is attained. The torque ormaximum rotation shall

48、be maintained for an additional 10 s.The torque shall then be removed and the protective compo-nent permitted to return to a relaxed condition. This procedureshall then be repeated in a counterclockwise direction.7.1.2 Tension Test:7.1.2.1 Attach a force gage to the cap, sleeve or plug bymeans of an

49、y suitable device. For protective components thatcannot reasonably be expected to be grasped between thumband forefinger or teeth on their outer diameter but have a gapof at least 0.040 in. (1.00 mm) between the rear surface of theprotective component and the structural member of the chang-ing table to which they are attached, a clamp such as the oneshown in Fig. 2 may be a suitable device.7.1.2.2 Assure that the attachment device does not compressor expand the protective component so that it hinders anypossible removal.7.1.2.3 Graduall
