Line splitting or line broadening of an X‐ray Bragg reflection owing to a three‐dimensional or biaxial load on a cubic polycrystalline specimen with 〈111〉 fibre texture has been predicted by Yokoyama & Harada [ J. Appl. Cryst. (2009), 42 , 185–191] if the specimen is in the symmetry of the Laue class m m . By using a TiN film specimen and a high‐precision four‐circle diffractometer with a laboratory X‐ray source, it is shown that the profile of the 420 reflection is substantially different with and without biaxial load and also depends on the measurement direction, while the profile of the 222 reflection does not change. These results are quantitatively in agreement with the theoretical prediction, although the theory is based on the Reuss model of elasticity.
