Long-duration load and temperature control for creep and stress-relaxation studies.

Material testing

Creep testing systems

Long-duration dead-weight lever arm platforms for creep, stress rupture, relaxation, crack growth, and hydrogen embrittlement — aligned with ASTM F519, ISO 204, and ASTM E139.

Why a dedicated creep testing machine

Creep and sustained-load programmes run for days to years under constant force. A purpose-built creep testing machine isolates dead-weight loading, long-term logging, and environmental packages so design data is not compromised by short-cycle UTM hardware.

Vector creep systems target regulated supply chains — aerospace fasteners and landing gear, pressure equipment, power generation, and alloy qualification where time-to-rupture and elongation under load are safety-critical inputs.

Typical test programmes

Creep & stress rupture

ISO 204 and ASTM E139 workflows at ambient or elevated temperature with gauge-length extensometry.

Hydrogen embrittlement

ASTM F519 sustained tension on notched specimens for plating and processing acceptance.

Crack growth & relaxation

ASTM E1457 and stress-relaxation studies on a single modular floor-standing frame.
