• Up to 3 creep tests can be run simultaneously.
  • Data is digitally collected, ensuring high accuracy.
  • Realistic simulations are possible thanks to climatised room and load controlled gravity and auto tensioning.
  • Temperature regulation: a transformer with rectifier is connected to the sample for testing at high temperature. The transformer is controlled via temperature feedback.
  • Our lab offers meticulous sample preparation.
  • It is possible to combine creep testing with heat testing, with currents up to 2000A.
  • Tests can be performed up to 25kV AC.

  • The conductor/wire is mounted in a fitting on both sides (one fixed point and one movable point);
  • Tension is added by counter weights;
  • This set-up is held for a longer span of time (usually 1000 hours);
  • During this time span the elongation of the conductor/wire is measured versus time and applied force;
  • This result lead to the definition of the specific creep formula for the tested conductor/wire;
  • A full report is prepared including test object data, test description, set-up, procedure results and conclusions.
  • A creep test can be performed at elevated temperature.
