The candidate could provide test specimen at a laboratory approved by the state or at the office of the candidate's personal physician.
As internal stresses tend to be highest at the shoulders of tensile test specimens, band formation is favored in those areas.
Note that these values are for smooth "un-notched" test specimens.
The difference in these three methods lies in the boundaries imposed into the test specimens.
The test specimen is loaded in three-point bending in the edgewise direction.
Forces were applied to a test specimen from both above and below.
Then, the test specimen are placed on the measuring table and are slid below the plunger of the instrument.
Most involve the heating of a specified quantity of the test specimen for a set duration.
It is an intensive property; therefore its value does not depend on the size of the test specimen.
The machine must have the proper capabilities for the test specimen being tested.
