An element installed before production begins, to prove the installationmethod or calibrate the design. Normally not part of the permanent works.Constructed independently of any rigid inclusion system by definition -diggs:RIColumnType/samplingFeatureRef is correspondingly irrelevant for atrial element, not merely omitted, since there is no parent system for it tocite.
enumeration
test
A production element selected for verification testing. Distinct from atrial element (which precedes and is independent of production) and from asacrificial element (which is destroyed by the test): a test element is apermanent, in-service element that also happens to be tested, and isexpected to remain in service afterward.
enumeration
production
An element that carries permanent load and is not tested destructively. Thedefault, unremarkable case - most elements in a rigid inclusion system areproduction elements.
enumeration
sacrificial
An element installed specifically to be tested to failure, and not relied onto carry permanent load either during or after the test.
