| The
creep testing software and hardware package scans each test machine
regularly to read thermocouples, extensometers and crack growth voltages
if available; store them on a logarithmic time scale; check test start
and termination activities. The test types available are stress rupture
test, creep strain test and creep crack growth. For each test the
following information is recorded in the header file where appropriate:
File name; specimen serial number, batch number, material specification;
test start date, start time, heating time, soaking time, test elapsed
time; specimen dimensions, cross sectional area, stress required;
nominal test temperature, soak temperature limits, test temperature
limits. |
