Chapter 5 Performing Tensile Tests 

 

5-11

 

 

4. Confirming Test Results 

 

Each time the [DISP.] button is pressed, the data 

display mode changes in the sequence indicated 

below.   

 

 Real Value 

 Peak Value 

 Break Value 

 

 

[REAL] Value: 

Displays the current real-time 

value 

[PEAK] Value: 

Displays the maximum test force 

data 

[BREAK] Value:  Displays the breakpoint data 

 

 

 

 

 

The most recent test data is displayed. However, once the next test is performed or the 
power is switched OFF, that test data is lost. 

 

 

 

If a horizontal line is displayed, it indicates there is no test data. 

 

 

 

5.7  Testing the Next Specimen 

 

Use the same procedure to attach and test the next specimen.   

 

 

 

 

To perform a series of tests on the same specimen, briefly open the containment cover 
between tests. Otherwise, the interlock circuit will prevent performing the test until the 
containment cover is opened and closed, to confirm the system functioned properly.
