ASTM C1291 Standard Test Method for High Temperature Tensile Creep Strain for Monolithic Advanced Ceramics

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of ASTM C1291 standard. This test method involves determining the tensile strain, creep strain rate, and creep time to fracture for advanced monolithic ceramics at elevated temperatures, typically between 1073 and 2073 K.

Various test specimen geometries are included. Creep strain at a constant temperature is evaluated from direct measurements of the gauge length extension during the test period.

The minimum creep strain rate, which may be invariant with time, is evaluated as a function of temperature and applied stress. Creep time to failure is also included in this test method.

This test method is for use with advanced ceramics that behave as macroscopically isotropic, homogeneous, continuous materials. While this test method is designed for use in monolithic ceramics, whisker- or particle-reinforced composite ceramics as well as low-volume discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite ceramics can meet these macroscopic behavior assumptions.

Values ​​in SI units should be considered standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
