Note :
(1) Failure shall be defined as the nail failing to sustain the load with continuous movement. Once failure occurs, the test load should
be maintained for 30 minutes for a load lower than the failure load. For example, if the nail fails at 200% of nail working load,
the next load on nail should be lowered to 175% of nail working for 30 minutes and thereafter unloaded to zero.
(2) The movement of the nail should be measured by two dial guages and ruler.
(3) Load cell shall be used for measuring of appiled load on nail. However, the loading from pressure guage should be
recorded for reference.
