Procedure—Cut 60 x 200 mm specimens in the machine and across machine direclon and condtlon Inthe Coven at 82 *C for 24 h or as specitiad. (The dimensions of the specimen may vary for estruded or molded parts.) Remove specimens ftom the oven anc condition at room temperature until reaching equllbrium. Place specimens, gloves, and mandrel with stand in the cold box at -34 °Crfor 4 hor as specified. Put on gloves and {grasp each and of the sample and bend, around the mandrel In approximately 0.5 s with a uniferm mation, Remove specimens from cold box and examine visual for evidence of cracks.
