Equipment
2.1.1.1.1.              Tensile testing fixture.
2.1.1.1.2.              A typical static test fixture is illustrated in Figure 5-1.
2.1.1.2.                        Procedure
2.1.1.2.1.              Attach the hinge system to the mounting provision of the test fixture. Hinge attitude must simulate vehicle position (door fully closed) relative to the hinge centreline. For test purposes, the distance between the extreme ends of one hinge in the system to the extreme end of another hinge in the system is to be set at 406  4 mm. The load is to be applied equidistant between the linear centre of the engaged portions of the hinge pin and through the centreline of the hinge pin in the longitudinal vehicle direction.
(see Figure 5-2).
2.1.1.2.2.              Apply the test load at a rate not to exceed 5 mm/min until the required load has been achieved. Failure consists of a separation of either hinge. Record the maximum load achieved.
2.1.2.                              Transverse load test

2.1.2.2.                        Procedure
2.1.2.2.1.              Attach the hinge system to the mounting provisions of the test fixture. Hinge attitude must simulate vehicle position (door fully closed) relative to the hinge centreline. For test purposes, the distance between the extreme ends of one hinge in the system to the extreme opposite end of another hinge in the system is to be set at 406  4 mm. The load is to be applied equidistant between the linear centre of the engaged portions of the hinge pins and through the centreline of the hinge pin in the transverse vehicle direction. (see Figure 5-2).
2.1.2.2.2.              Apply the test load at a rate not to exceed 5 mm/min until the required load has been achieved. Failure consists of a separation of either hinge. Record the maximum load achieved.
2.1.3.                              Vertical load test (For doors that open in the vertical direction)
2.1.3.1.                        Equipment
2.1.3.1.1.              Tensile testing fixture.

2.1.3.2.                        Procedure
2.1.3.2.1.              Attach the hinge system to the mounting provisions of the test fixture. Hinge attitude must simulate vehicle position (door fully closed) relative to the hinge centreline. For test purposes, the distance between the extreme ends of one hinge in the system to the extreme opposite end of another hinge in the system is to be set at 406  4 mm. The load is to be applied through the centreline of the hinge pin in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal and transverse loads. (see Figure 5-2).
2.1.3.2.2.              Apply the test load at a rate not to exceed 5 mm/min until the required load has been achieved. Failure consists of a separation of either hinge. Record the maximum
