Transverse load Sample Clauses
Transverse load. Attach the hinge system to the mounting provision of the test fixture. Hinge attitude must simulate the vehicle position (door fully closed) relative to the hinge centreline. For test purposes, the load is to be applied equidistant between the linear centre of the engaged positions of the hinge pin and through the centreline of the hinge pin in the transverse vehicle direction. Apply the test load at a rate not to exceed 5 mm/min until the required load is achieved. Failure consists of a separation of either hinge. Record the maximum load achieved.
Transverse load. 2.2.1. The set of hinges shall be positioned on the test fixture in the closed-door attitude (see appendix, figure 1 to this annex).
2.2.2. Full-length (piano) hinge: The hinge is positioned on the test fixture which shall have adequate dimensions to enable the hinge to be fitted along all its length to satisfy the following requirements:
2.2.2.1. the engaged length of the hinge pin shall be bisected at the right angles by the line of application of the tensile force;
2.2.2.2. the hinge assembly shall be stressed approximately in the vehicle transverse direction.
Transverse load. The latch and striker assembly shall be capable of withstanding a transverse load of 444 ▇▇▇ in the intermediate latched position, and 889 ▇▇▇ in the fully latched position (see annex 3, appendix, figure 3).
