Abstract
Abstract APPARATUS FOR ELIMINATING OR MINIMIZING THE THERMAL GRADIENT WHICH OCCURS ACROSS A TEST SPECIMEN UNDERGOING A TENSILE TEST, ESPECIALLY AT NON-AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. TEST SPECIMEN BEING EVALUATED AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE MAY UNDERGO A SIGNIFICANT AND UNDESIRED THERMAL GRADIENT THROUGHOUT A DIMENSION OF THE SPECIMEN, AND THIS THERMAL GRADIENT CAN INTRODUCE SUBNSTANTIAL INACCURACIES IN THE TEST DATA OBTAINED. A THERMAL GRADIENT MEASURED ALONG THE TEST SPECIMEN IS USED TO CONTROL THE ADDITION OF SUBTRACTION OF HEAT FROM THE SPECIMEN AS NECESSARY TO MINIMIZE THE UNWANTED THERMAL GRADIENT.
