los requisitos siguientes:
a. Verificación de Pesos para Pruebas. El peso
requerido para la prueba al choque será exacto
hasta más o menos uno (1) por ciento.
- 90 -
b. Guiding of Test Weight.
The test weight shall be so guided as to insure
that when dropped onto the buffer its travel shall be
substantially vertical.
c. Test Instruments:
The instruments used to measure the test results
shall conform to the following requirements:
1. They shall be of the recording type.
2. They shall provide data for the plotting of
the buffer performance curves showing time
intervals, travel of test weight, velocity of
test weight and retardation of test weight
during the buffer stroke which shall be accurate to within the following tolerances:
a. The timing device shall record time in
increments of not more than one-sixtieth
(1/60) second during the entire buffer
stroke.
b. Time increments and total time shall be
recorded with an error of less than plus
or minus five-tenths (5/10) of one (1)
per cent.
c. The position of the test weight at each
USAS,A17.1
time interval shall be recorded with an
Ibid
error of less than plus or minus onetenth (1/10) of one (1) per cent.
d. Time and travel, velocity and retardation
shall be determined by means of a device
which will provide the accuracy specified.
