Creep Testing Machine
Product Code : EL-MTLE-10606
Creep Testing Machine (code EL-MTLE-10606) is a lever-loaded instrument for testing the creep of lead and plastic specimens at room temperature under low loads, with a digital indicator measuring the specimen's extension over time. Its load beam has an 8:1 mechanical advantage and a ball-bearing pivot, loads are applied as weights on a weight hanger, and a cool-pack with a transparent enclosure allows tests on the effect of temperature.

What Is the Creep Testing Machine Used For?
Creep is the slow, continuing stretch of a material held under a constant load, and lead and many plastics creep noticeably even at room temperature, which makes them suitable for short classroom tests. Students fit a specimen, add weights to the hanger so that the 8:1 beam applies a steady tensile load, and note the digital indicator reading against time to plot a creep curve showing its primary, secondary and tertiary stages. To show the effect of temperature, a frozen or heated cool-pack is placed beside the specimen, the transparent enclosure is fitted, and the curve is compared with one taken at room temperature.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of creep testing machines required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials can be tested?
The machine tests the creep behaviour of lead and plastic specimens at room temperature under low loads.
How is the load applied?
Students add weights to a weight hanger on the load beam, a simple lever with an 8:1 mechanical advantage that gives a steady, uniform tensile load.
How is creep measured?
A digital indicator measures the extension of the specimen under load, and students record it against time to follow the creep.
Can the effect of temperature be shown?
Yes. A cool-pack is frozen or heated and placed next to the specimen, and the transparent enclosure is fitted to preserve the temperature around it during the test.
Why is a ball-bearing pivot used?
The ball-bearing pivot on the load beam ensures correct loading of the specimen as the lever transfers the hanger load.
