Warning
Materials testing is often carried out at non-ambient tem-
peratures using ovens, furnaces or cryogenic chambers.
Extreme temperature means an operating temperature ex-
ceeding 60 °C (140 °F) or below 0 °C (32 °F). You must
use protective clothing, such as gloves, when handling
equipment at these temperatures. Display a warning no-
tice concerning low or high temperature operation when-
ever temperature control equipment is in use. You
should note that the hazard from extreme temperature
can extend beyond the immediate area of the test.
Installation or removal of a specimen, assembly or struc-
ture involves working inside the hazard area between the
grips or fixtures. Keep clear of the jaws of a grip or fix-
ture at all times. Keep clear of the hazard area between
the grips or fixtures during actuator or crosshead move-
ment. Ensure that all actuator or crosshead movements
necessary for installation or removal are slow and,
where possible, at a low force setting.
viii
Wear protective clothing when handling
equipment at extremes of temperature.
Take care when installing or removing a
specimen, assembly or structure.
