E-3.2 Increase the load uniformly without shock until
The object of this test is to determine the transverse the bar fracture. The load should be applied in such
bending strength of grey cast iron by applying a way that the increase of stress does not exceed
constantly increasing single load at the centre of a 3 MPa/s. Find out the load at the fracture of the test
