ASTM D2990

Compressive Creep

Purpose: This test method is used to determine the compressive creep of a plastic material under a specified load, temperature, and time.

Sample: 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches

Price & Delivery: Contact us for a quote. 

Basic Description: The test specimens are loaded into the machine at a specified temperature and load and the initial height is measured.  The height is continued to be measure at specified intervals.  After a specified time, the final height is then measured and the compressive creep is then calculated.

Limitations: We can only do compressive creep at this time.
