To demonstrate and calculate creep and different material at
different stresses and temperature.

Theory:
It is a time- dependent deformation under a certain applied load.
Generally, occurs at high temperature (thermal creep), but can also
happen at room temperature in certain materials (e.g. lead or glass),
albeit much slower. As a result, the material undergoes a time
dependent increase in length, which could be dangerous while in
service.
• Primary Creep: starts at a rapid rate and slows with time.
• Secondary Creep: has a relatively uniform rate.
• Tertiary Creep: has an accelerated creep rate and terminates when
the material breaks or ruptures. It is associated with both necking and
formation of grain boundary voids
Procedure:
 Accurately measure and record the width and thickness of the
specimen
Put the weight hanger in position and fit its support pin in its highest
hole to hold the arm up and ready for the test specimen.
Fit the steel specimen support clips to the specimen.
Fit the specimen into place between the black support block and the
arm, and fit the pins.
Fit a suitable weight to the weight hanger, to give a stress that gives
the longest test time that you can allow.
 Carefully remove the weight hanger support pin from the highest hole
in the weight hanger.
Lift the weight hanger and support it while you fit the support pin in
the lowest rubber mat (supplied) onto the base plate, underneath the
weight hanger.
Record the specimen extension after some interval, until it fractures or
stop extending due to the limits of the machine.
The whole operation is shown in figure.1
