9 Procedure
After removal of the mould-release film, when applicable (see 6.2.2), insert test pieces with beaded ends in
the fixture illustrated in Figure 3. Adjust the rate of displacement of the moving jaw to 100 mm/min and start
the tensile test. If the test piece breaks at the grips, that result shall be discarded and a retest carried out.
NOTE The preferred rate of separation of the jaws is 100 mm/min. In special cases, other rates can be used, but only
tests carried out at the same rate can be compared.
