Common use of Bending test Clause in Contracts

Bending test. 3.5.4.1. An empty hose, at a length of approximately 3.5 m must be able to withstand 3,000 times the hereafter prescribed alternating-bending-test without breaking. After the test the hose must be capable of withstanding the test pressure as mentioned in paragraph 3.5.5.2. Figure 3 (example only) a 1 2m (a = 102 mm; b= 241 mm) 3.5.4.2. The testing machine (see Figure 3) shall consist of a steel frame, provided with two wooden wheels, with a rim-width of approximately 130 mm. The circumference of the wheels must be grooved for the guidance of the hose. The radius of the wheels, measured to the bottom of the groove, must be 102 mm. The longitudinal median planes of both wheels must be in the same vertical plane. The distance between the wheel-centres must be vertical 241 mm and horizontal 102 mm. Each wheel must be able to rotate freely round its pivot-centre. A propulsion mechanism pulls the hose over the wheels at a speed of four complete motions per minute. 3.5.4.3. The hose shall be S-shape-like installed over the wheels (see Figure 3). The end, that runs over the upper wheel, shall be furnished with a sufficient mass as to achieve a complete snuggling of the hose against the wheels. The part that runs over the lower wheel is attached to the propulsion mechanism. The mechanism must be so adjusted, that the hose travels a total distance of
