Test methods

A sample (pipe) is subjected to a constant compression force for 1008 hours. The deformation is recorded at set intervals to obtain representation over time and to calculate the creep coefficient as a ratio between the extrapolated deformation value over two years and the measured deformation at 6 minutes (0.1 hours).

Products to test
