The GUNT Creep Rupture Test Machine is designed to study the plastic deformation behavior of materials subjected to long-term constant loads, known as creep. This destructive test method determines material creep behavior at constant test temperatures, including room temperature and below, after prolonged exposure to steady loads. It demonstrates typical creep phenomena such as different creep rate phases and temperature-dependent creep behavior.
Product Features
- Tests material creep behavior under long-term constant tensile loads at controlled temperatures
- Clean layout and simple operation for detailed observation of the experimental sequence
- Uses lead and plastic specimens to achieve acceptable creep rates at room temperature
- Experiments can be performed below room temperature using a transparent temperature-controlled box with storage elements
- Tensile load applied by lever and stepped weights for consistent force application
- Specimen holders equipped with knife-edge bearings to eliminate bending stresses during testing
- Adjustable stop protects the dial gauge in case of specimen fracture and prevents load impact on the unit
- Specimen elongation over time is recorded via dial gauge and stopwatch, plotted as a strain–time creep curve
Benefits
- Accurately simulates long-term material behavior under constant load and temperature conditions
- Enables study of creep phases and temperature effects on material deformation
- Safe and easy-to-use design with protective features for delicate instrumentation
- Capability to test at and below room temperature for versatile research applications
- Clear data representation through strain–time creep curves for in-depth material analysis
