Creep Testing machine

Creep-when a material deforms over time while under load. If you think of opal as a rubber band that stretches, so far we have stretched it to 4.9 ~A which demonstrates good extensionaling behavior. When you continue to hold that same rubber band in tension for a long time then let go of it, the behavior is different-where once again, on release, the elastic shrinks back but not entirely like before. This is the same as what occurs in other materials subjected to a steady pressure. They want to know how long a material will maintain its strength under pressure before breaking or undergoing too much change. This is where creep testing helps them wider.

Creep testing is when a constant load is applied to a material and the amount of deflection (movement) can be measured over time. The machine starts adding heavier and heavier weight to determine when the material will give. This tells an engineer how long a materials absorb loads and what is the limit at which it will start to deteriorate or fail. Engineers can test materials by experimenting with various kinds to see which will keep them in the best position for a particular job.

Creep Testing Explained

A commonly-used tool is called a "load cell," and engineers install one on an existing creep testing machine. "...to right when this tool measures force is being applied to the material. It lets the engineers know exactly how heavy of a weight they are lifting. The machine also needs an oven, which is a furnace that the material compelled be at some temperature. The temperature is of great importance because it affects the way in which those materials respond to pressure exerted upon them.

As testing commences, the material is carefully balanced back into the machine and subjected to a liquefied weight. This weight will remain on the material for a considerable amount of time - days, sometimes weeks. The machine checks this when directed to do so during the trial using a constant weight that presses down on the material all of time. At some point, engineers write this down & circle back around to make sense of the results.
