1 The purpose of the test is to discover if this metal deforms easily when it is hammered.
2 The purpose of the impact resistance test is to find out if the material is elastic or plastic.
3 The hammer hits the metal with a force of 10,000 newtons
4 The purpose of the test is to find out if the plastic will resist deformation when heated to 120 °
5 The purpose of the test is to check if these three types of ceramics melt when heated to 500 ° C
6 The objective of the test is to check if the concrete beam will crack when compressed to a force of 5 tons

Test on saddle
Objective
The purpose of the test is to discover if the saddle can resist a bending force from below
Procedure
The saddle is placed in a clamp. A force of 400 newtons is applied in turn under the rear and nose of the
saddle. The yield point and/or the breaking point is measured.
Result
This measurement shows how rigid and tough the saddle is.
