Abstract
The machine is intended for a flat-plate testpiece, one face of which has to be unobstucted throughout the test. Plates up to 36 in long, 27 in wide, and 3/4 in thick can be accommodated. Hydraulic rams actuated by air-hydraulic pumps exert completely independent tensions on cruciform test pieces through spherical bushes. Satisfactory direct-load readings were obtained form pressure gauges.Keywords
