Table 2 Summary of standard tests performed during one set of parabolas

1 to 4

2 tests:

1 test in 1.8g₀

1 test in µg₀

During each test, the sample is loaded up to max force. When this is reached, the sample is unloaded. The test starts and finishes in the same gravity.

Testing speed 2 mm/min.

Force range: 0–1.5 N

5

1 test overall

The test starts at 1.8g₀ and ends at µg₀. The sample is loaded up to max force, and then unloaded. Curves include gravity transition.

Testing speed 2 mm/min

Force range: 0–6.5 N
