DEVICE FOR TRANSVERSELY SUPPORTING A LONGITUDINAL TEST TUBE, AND EQUIPMENT FOR DETERMINING THE MECHANICAL BENDING PROPERTIES OF SUCH A TEST TUBE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for transversely supporting a longitudinal test tube and to equipment for determining the mechanical bending properties of such a test tube. According to the invention, the device (1) for transversely supporting a longitudinal test tube (2), comprising a core (2A) and at least one main tab (2B) connected to an end of said core, includes: a body (3) in which a recess (4) is provided, said recess being shaped so as to transversely accommodate said test tube (2) and comprising a main bearing surface (5) with which a surface of said core (2A) is to engage; and mobile clamping means (6) provided so as to press said core (2A) against said main bearing surface (5).
