The Creep Tester performs tensile creep test by applying a constant tensile load to the specimens in a controlled temperature chamber, subjecting the materials to a high level of stress under load and temperature over time.
With high precision sensors to continuously monitor the materials, it is able to measure minute elongation for calculation of strain in the materials.
These creep tests are important to the development and characterization of new materials that are used in materials under constant load.
