S TEST PROCEDURES
Many of the tests herein are inherently hazardous; adequate safeguards for personnel and property shall be employed in conducting these tests.
5.1 Torsional Moment Test
Test shall be conducted in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 5. Test mandrels shall conform to the dimensions in Table 5 or SM and shall be hardened to not less than 55 HRC. The socket openings shall be gaged prior to testing. The tests shall be conducted after preheating the entire tool to a uniform temperature of 125°F (57.7°C), and the torque specified in the applicable table shall be applied within 1 mm after removing the tool from the heating medium. The socket of the tool shall be inserted over the mandrel to the depth specified. The torque shall be applied and sustained for a minimum of 10 sec. The handle may be gripped in the area beyond the insertion distance of the socket shaft by suitable means. It shall be permissible to support the handle in order to maintain the tool in a suitable position for testing, provided the supporting means does not exert pressure end-wise during testing. Any cracking, failure of the socket opening to conform to the gaging requirement, or failure to sustain the proof torque for the prescribed time shall constitute failure.
When tested to the minimum assembly torque value specified, the assembly shall not show a permanent slippage between the shaft and handle.
5.2 Bending Moment Test
Test shall be conducted in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 6. Test mandrels shall conform to the dimensions in Table 6 or 6M and shall be hardened to not less than 55 HRC. A force of such magnitude to create the bending moment specified in the applicable table shall be applied at or near the middle of the natural grip of the handle for a minimum of 10 sec. The force is to act perpendicular to the axis of the tool. The tool shall not crack, break, or show any signs of visible permanent set or looseness in the handle. The test shall be conducted at room temperature.
5.3 Solvent Tests
Nutd rivers shall he capable of meeting the following test requirements. I landles are to be fully immersed in motor vehicle brake fluid (SAE J1703), gasoline, ethylene glycol, and ethyl alcohol for 15 mm at room temperature, removed, wiped off, and allowed to stand for 24 hr.
