1、Designation: D 2990 09Standard Test Methods forTensile, Compressive, and Flexural Creep and Creep-Rupture of Plastics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2990; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the y

2、ear of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the

3、determination of tensileand compressive creep and creep-rupture of plastics underspecified environmental conditions (see 3.1.3).1.2 While these test methods outline the use of three-pointloading for measurement of creep in flexure, four-point loading(which is used less frequently) can also be used w

4、ith theequipment and principles as outlined in Test Methods D 790.1.3 For measurements of creep-rupture, tension is the pre-ferred stress mode because for some ductile plastics rupturedoes not occur in flexure or compression.1.4 Test data obtained by these test methods are relevant andappropriate fo

5、r use in engineering design.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values in parentheses are for information only.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this st

6、andard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use. A specific warningstatement is given in 6.8.2.NOTE 1This standard and ISO 899 Parts 1 and 2 address the samesubject matter, but differ in technical content (and resul

7、ts cannot bedirectly compared between the two test methods). ISO 899 Part 1addresses tensile creep and creep to rupture and ISO 899 Part 2 addressesflexural creep.

Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 creep modulusthe ratio of initial applied stress tocreep strain.3.1.2 creep strainthe total strain, at any give

11、n time,produced by the applied stress during a creep test.3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe term creep, as used in this testmethod, reflects current plastics engineering usage. In scientificpractice, creep is often defined to be the nonelastic portion ofstrain. However, this definition is not applicable to exis

12、tingengineering formulas. Plastics have a wide spectrum of retar-dation times, and elastic portions of strain cannot be separatedin practice from nonelastic. Therefore, wherever “strain” ismentioned in these test methods, it refers to the sum of elasticstrain plus the additional strain with time.3.1

Summary of Test Methods4.1 These test methods consist of measuring the extensiono

19、r compression as a function of time and time-to-rupture, orfailure of a specimen subject to constant tensile or compressiveload under specified environmental conditions.5. Significance and Use5.1 Data from creep and creep-rupture tests are necessary topredict the creep modulus and strength of materi

20、als underlong-term loads and to predict dimensional changes that mayoccur as a result of such loads.5.2 Data from these test methods can be used: (1)tocompare materials, (2) in the design of fabricated parts, (3)tocharacterize plastics for long-term performance under constantload, and ( 4) under cer

21、tain conditions, for specificationpurposes.5.3 Before proceeding with this test method, reference shallbe made to the specification of the material being tested. Anyspecimen preparation, conditioning, dimensions, and/or testingparameters covered in the material specification shall takeprecedence ove

22、r those mentioned in this test method, except incases where to do so would conflict with the purpose forconducting testing. If there are no material specifications, thenthe default conditions apply.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Creep:6.1.1 GripsThe grips and gripping technique shall bedesigned to minimize

23、 eccentric loading of the specimen.Swivel or universal joints shall be used beyond each end of thespecimen.6.1.2 It is recommended that grips permit the final centeringof the specimen prior to applying the load. Grips that permit adisplacement of the specimen within the grips during loadapplication

24、are not suitable.6.2 Compressive Creep:6.2.1 AnvilsParallel anvils shall be used to apply the loadto the unconfined-type specimen (see 8.2). One of the anvils ofthe machine shall preferably be self-aligning and shall, in orderthat the load be applied evenly over the face of the specimen,be arranged

25、so that the specimen is accurately centered and theresultant load is through its center.6.2.2 Guide TubeA guide tube and fixtures shall be usedwhen testing slender specimens (see 8.3) to prevent buckling.A suitable arrangement is shown in Fig. 1. The guide tube is a3.2-mm (0.125-in.) Schedule 40 sta

26、inless steel pipe nippleapproximately 150 mm (6 in.) long reamed to 6.860 60.025-mm (0.270 6 0.001-in.) inside diameter.6.3 Flexural Creep:6.3.1 Test RackA rigid test rack shall be used to providesupport of the specimen at both ends with a span equal to 16( + 4, 2) times the thickness of the specime

27、n. In order toavoid excessive indentation of the specimen, the radius of theFIG. 1 A Compressive Creep Apparatus Including Details When Used in an Environmental ChamberD2990092support shall be 3.2 mm (0.125 in). Sufficient space must beallowed below the specimen for dead-weight loading at mid-span.6

28、.3.2 StirrupA stirrup shall be used which fits over thetest specimen from which the desired load shall be suspendedto provide flexural loading at mid-span. In order to preventexcessive indentation or failure due to stress concentrationunder the stirrup, the radius of the stirrup shall be 3.2 mm(0.12

29、5 in.). Connection between stirrup and weight shall bemade in a manner to avoid nonuniform loading caused bymisalignment or rack not being level.6.3.3 A suitable arrangement is shown in Fig. 2.6.4 Loading SystemThe loading system must be so de-signed that the load applied and maintained on the speci

30、men iswithin 61 % of the desired load. The loading mechanism mustallow reproductively rapid and smooth loading as specified in11.3. In creep-rupture tests, provision must be made to ensurethat shock loading, caused by a specimen failure, is nottransferred to other specimens undergoing testing.6.4.1

31、Loading systems that provide a mechanical advantagerequire careful design to maintain constant load throughout thetest. For example, lever systems must be designed so that theload does not change as the lever arm moves during the test.6.5 Extension, Compression, and Deflection Measurement:6.5.1 The

32、extension or compression of specimen gagelength under load shall be measured by means of any devicethat will not influence the specimen behavior by mechanical(undesirable deformation, notches, etc.), physical (heating ofspecimen, etc.), or chemical effects. Preferably the extensionshall be measured

33、directly on the specimen, rather than by gripseparation. Anvil displacement may be used to measure com-pression. If extension measurements are made by grip separa-tion, suitable correction factors must be determined, so thatstrain within the gage length can be calculated. These correc-tion factors a

34、re dependent on the geometry of the specimen andits drawing behavior, and they must be measured with respectto these variables.6.5.2 The deflection of the specimen at mid-span shall bemeasured using a dial gage (with loading springs removed,with its measuring foot resting on stirrup) or a cathetomet

35、er.6.5.3 The accuracy of the deformation measuring deviceshall be within 6 1 % of the deformation to be measured.6.5.4 Deformation measuring devices shall be calibratedagainst a precision micrometer screw or other suitable standardunder conditions as nearly identical as possible with thoseencountere

36、d in the test. Caution is necessary when usingFIG. 2 Flexural Creep Test ApparatusD2990093deformation measuring devices whose calibration is subject todrifting with time and is dependent on temperature andhumidity.6.5.5 Deformation measuring devices shall be firmly at-tached to or seated on the spec

37、imen so that no slippage occurs.Electrical resistance gages are suitable only if the materialtested will permit perfect adhesion to the specimen and if theyare consistent with 6.5.1.6.6 Time MeasurementThe accuracy of the time measur-ing device shall be 6 1 % of the time-to-rupture or failure orthe

38、elapsed time of each creep measurement, or both.6.7 Temperature Control and Measurement:6.7.1 The temperature of the test space, especially close tothe gage length of the specimen, shall be maintained within62C by a suitable automatic device and shall be stated inreporting the results.NOTE 2The ther

39、mal contraction and expansion associated with smalltemperature changes during the test may produce changes in the apparentcreep rate, especially near transition temperatures.6.7.2 Care must be taken to ensure accurate temperaturemeasurements over the gage length of the specimen throughoutthe test. T

40、he temperature measuring devices shall be checkedregularly against temperature standards and shall indicate thetemperature of the specimen gage area.6.7.3 Temperature measurements shall be made at frequentintervals, or continuously recorded to ensure an accuratedetermination of the average test temp

41、erature and compliancewith 6.7.1.6.8 Environmental Control and Measurement:6.8.1 When the test environment is air, the relative humidityshall be controlled to within 6 5 % during the test unlessotherwise specified, or unless the creep behavior of thematerial under testing has been shown to be unaffe

42、cted byhumidity. The controlling and measuring instruments shall bestable for long time intervals and accurate to within 61%.(The control of relative humidity is known to be difficult attemperatures much outside the range of 10 to 40C (50 to100F).)6.8.2 The composition of the test environment shall

43、bemaintained constant throughout the test. (WarningSafetyprecautions shall be taken to avoid personal contact, toeliminate toxic vapors, and to guard against explosion hazardsin accordance with any possible hazardous nature of theparticular environment being used.)6.9 Vibration ControlCreep tests ar

44、e quite sensitive toshock and vibration. The location of the apparatus, the testequipment, and mounting shall be so designated that thespecimen is isolated from vibration. Multiple-station testequipment must be of sufficient rigidity so that no significantdeflection occurs in the test equipment duri

45、ng creep or creep-rupture testing. During time-to-rupture or failure, means toprevent jarring of other test specimens by the falling load froma failed test specimen shall be provided by a suitable net orcushion.7. Reagents7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unles

46、s otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently h

47、igh purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean distilled water or water ofequal purity.7.3 Specified ReagentsShould this test method be refer-enced in a material specificati
