1. Use the fixture support as support for the sample to be tested. The distance between the supporting blocks shall be 300 mm, see Figure 39.
2. Place the static load in the middle of the test sample. Use a load applicator in order to distribute the load.
3. Wait 10 minutes.
4. Measure the deflection (Δ H), see Figure 39
5. Perform the deflection test for five samples in the machine direction (MD) and five samples in the cross machine direction (CD).
6. Note the deflections of each sample.
7. Calculate the average value in each direction.
