The object of this test is to determine the trans- E-3.1 Place the two ends of the test bar on hori-
verse bending strength of grey cast iron by apply- zontal supp()rtS. The support and the point of
ing constantly increasing singlc load at the ccntre application of the load shall be rounded to a
of a test bar arranged as a beam between two radius of 5 to 20 mm. Apply a single load verti-
suPportsuntil fracture occurs. cally at the centre of the bar ( seeFig. 4 ).
