Description
A sturdy bench top mounted unit for studying the affect of creep on different material test specimens.
Necked test specimens are held vertically in position on special clamps, which do not induce bending
during loading. A lever arm transmits the load from a load hanger and weights into the specimen and the
lever arm has a counter balance weight to ensure the lever arm self weight is calibrated out.
Surrounding the test specimen is a transparent specimen guard. Its primary function is to allow the
surrounding specimen temperature to be adjusted hot or cold. The temperature can be read using the
thermometer supplied and the temperature controlled using a special thermal pack. The specimen cover
also allows easy viewing of the specimen during creep. A dial gauge measures the extension of the
specimen during testing. Specimens in lead and polypropylene are supplied as standard. Specimens in
nylon and PVC are also available as optional sets.
A data acquisition upgrade (HSM34DU) is optionally available that allows the extension of the specimen
and the test temperature via a thermocouple to be monitored.
A full technical instruction manual is supplied, which details full unit operation, experimental technique,
example results and relevant theory.

The HSM34DU comprises an interface, software, dial gauge cable and thermocouple that allows the key
parameters of extension and temperature to be monitored during a creep test. It has an integral display
which displays the captured parameters. The interface captures and stores (in non-volatile memory) the
data captured. Once stored the data can then be retrieved using the HSM34DU Data Acquisition
Software.
The interface has external sockets to accept the sensors from the hardware. A power supply is supplied
with the interface with multiple country adaptors. The interface also has a USB port (USB lead supplied)
which allows the interface to be connected to the host computer (not supplied). The USB port can also
acts as the power source for the interface.
