Figure 76. Force deflection: Baseline versus test. Graph.

This graph shows three distinct lines. The first line is colored red and is labeled A Baseline. The second is black and is labeled B test Minimum. The third line is blue and labeled C Test Maximum. The vertical axis of this graph ranges from zero to 60 and represents Force in kilonewtons while the horizontal axis of this graph ranges from zero to 200 and represents Deflection in millimeters. All three lines begin at the point of zero on both axes. The first line, line A ascends from zero to 45 on the vertical axis 25 on the horizontal axis where it then drops off to 14 on the vertical axis and 30 on the horizontal axis. From this point the line descends gradually and unevenly across the graph and comes to an end at the point of 8 on the vertical and 185 on the horizontal axis. The second line, line B rises to 45 on the vertical axis and 45 on the horizontal axis where it then descends dramatically across the remainder of the graph, in an uneven fashion and leaves the graph at the points of 7 on the vertical axis and 200 on the horizontal axis. The blue line rises to 55 on the vertical axis and 48 on the horizontal axis where it then descends dramatically and unevenly across the remainder of the graph, leaving the graph at 10 on the vertical axis and 200 on the horizontal axis.
