1.6.1 The range of tests results is limited by the calibrated
range of the test device’s force transducer. Combinations of
thin specimens, high specimen stiffness and high total energy
input may produce forces that exceed the transducer’s capacityand are hence not measurable. In practice, the specified force
transducer range (10 kN) accommodates more than 99 % of
typical shoe soles and cushioning material specimens that are
7 mm or more in thickness at a total energy input of 5 Joules.
