`6 Method
`
`ISO 3630-1 Section 7.5 Stiffness Test Setup
`6.1
`Each endodontic file specimen was cut at the point at which the shank is attached to the shaft.
`The tip of endodontic file was clamped in the KMT ISO 3630 fixture perpendicular to the axis of
`the rotary actuator, to a depth of 3mm. The fixture was rigidly attached to the torque cell which
`was clamped to the load frame baseplate. A catch pin was mounted to the rotary actuator. The
`actuator was rotated until the catch pin was lightly touching the specimen and the angular
`displacement was set to zero. The actuator was then rotated until it reached an angular
`displacement of 45°. The applied torque was recorded for each file. See Figure 1 for a
`photograph of the test setup.
