A curved slab of rubber filled with lead-pellets is integrated in the foam covering at both sides.

              2.8.5. Between the foam covering and the rigid casting at each side of the abdomen, either three force transducers (part No. 7c) or three non-measuring replacement units can be mounted.

              2.9. Pelvis

              2.9.1. The pelvis is shown as part No. 8 in Figure 1 of this annex.

              2.9.2. The pelvis consists of a sacrum block, two iliac wings, two hip joints assemblies and a flesh simulating foam covering.

              2.9.3.  The sacrum (part No. 8a) consists of a mass tuned metal block and a metal plate mounted on top of this block. In the aft side of the block is a cavity to facilitate the application of instrumentation.

              2.9.4. The iliac wings (part No. 8b) are made of polyurethane (PU)-resin.

              2.9.5. The hip joints assemblies (part No. 8c) are made of steel parts. They consist of an upper femur bracket and a ball joint connected to an axle passing through the dummy's H-point.

              2.9.6. The flesh system (part No. 8d) is made of a polyvinlychloride (PVC) skin filled with polyurethane (PU) foam. At the H-point location the skin is replaced by open-cell polyurethane (PU) foam block (part No. 8e), backed up with a steel plate fixed on the iliac wing by an axle support going through the ball joint.

              2.9.7.  The iliac wings are attached to the sacrum block at the aft side and linked together at the pubic symphysis location by a force transducer (part No. 8f) or a replacement transducer.

              2.10. Legs

              2.11. The legs are shown as part No. 9 in Figure 1 of this annex.

              2.11.1. The legs consist of a metal skeleton covered by a flesh-stimulating polyurethane (PU) foam with a polyvinlychloride (PVC) skin.

              2.11.2. A high-density polyurethane (PU) moulding with a polyvinlychloride (PVC) skin represents the thigh flesh of the upper legs.

              2.11.3. The knee and ankle joint allow for a flexion/extension rotation only.

              2.12. Suit

              2.12.1. The suit is not shown in Figure 1 of this annex.

              2.12.2. The suit is made of rubber and covers the shoulders, thorax, upper part of the arms, the abdomen and lumbar spine, the upper part of the pelvis.
