37、.1.2.1 Testing MachineAny testing machine or loading device, capable of imposing forces accurate to within 1 % (plus orminus), when calibrated in accordance with Practices E4, is suitable and may be used, provided the requirements of specified rateof loading and unloading are met. The testing device

38、 shall be of sufficient capacity to prevent yielding of its various componentsand shall ensure that the applied load remains essentially parallel to the relevant axis of the assembly during testing.8.1.2.2 Test SystemA diagrammatic test set-up for applying horizontal tension forces to the assembly i
