Test for Special Form Radioactive Material. ... Percussion test. The material is placed on a lead sheet which is supported by a smooth essentially unyielding surface and struck by the flat face of a steel billet so as to produce an impact equivalent to that resulting from a free fall of 1.4 kg through 1 m. The flat face of the billet is 25 mm in diameter with the edges rounded off to a radius of 3 mm. The lead, of hardness number 3.5 to 4.5 on the Vickers scale and not more than 25 mm thick, covers an area greater than that covered by the material. A fresh surface of lead is used for each impact. The billet strikes the material so as to cause maximum damage. 1, record 1, English, - percussion%20test

Épreuves pour les matières radioactives sous forme spéciale. [...] Épreuve de percussion. Les matières sont posées sur une feuille de plomb reposant sur une surface lisse, foncièrement rigide; on les frappe avec la face plane d'une barre d'acier, de manière à produire un choc équivalent à celui que provoquerait un poids de 1,4 kg tombant en chute libre d'une hauteur de 1 m. La face plane de la barre a 25 mm de diamètre et son arête fait un arrondi de 3 mm. Le plomb, d'une dureté de Vickers de 3,5 à 4,5, est d'une épaisseur maximale de 25 mm et couvre une surface plus grande que celle que couvrent les matières. À chaque épreuve, il faut placer les matières sur une partie intacte du plomb. La barre doit frapper les matières de manière à provoquer le plus de dommages possible. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20de%20percussion
