Metallic materials - Uniaxial creep testing in tension - Method of test (ISO 204:2018)

This document specifies the methods for
a)    uninterrupted creep tests with continuous monitoring of extension,
b)    interrupted creep tests with periodic measurement of elongation,
c)    stress rupture tests where normally only the time to fracture is measured,
d)    a test to verify that a predetermined time can be exceeded under a given force, with the elongation or extension not necessarily being reported.
NOTE       A creep test can be continued until fracture has occurred or it can be stopped before fracture.

Matériaux métalliques - Essai de fluage uniaxial en traction - Méthode d'essai (ISO 204:2018)

Le présent document spécifie les méthodes pour:
a)    les essais de fluage ininterrompu avec surveillance continue de l'extension,
b)    les essais de fluage interrompus avec mesurage périodique de l'allongement,
c)    les essais de rupture sous contrainte lorsque seul le temps jusqu'à la rupture est normalement mesuré,
d)    un essai pour vérifier qu'un temps prédéterminé peut être dépassé sous une force donnée, sans que l'allongement ou l'extension n'ait été nécessairement rapporté.
NOTE       Une essai de fluage peut se poursuivre jusqu'à la rupture effective ou peut être arrêté avant la rupture.

Kovinski materiali - Preskušanje nesoosnega lezenja pri nategu - Metoda preskušanja (ISO 204:2018)

Ta dokument določa metode za:
a) neprekinjene preskuse lezenja z neprekinjenim spremljanjem razširitve,
b) prekinjene preskuse lezenja s periodičnimi meritvami raztezka,
c) preskuse zloma zaradi obremenitve, pri katerih se običajno meri samo čas do preloma,
d) preskus za potrditev, da je mogoče pri dani sili preseči predhodno določeni čas, pri čemer se ne poroča nujno o raztezku ali razširitvi.
OPOMBA: Preskus lezenja je mogoče nadaljevati, dokler ne pride do preloma, mogoče pa ga je tudi ustaviti pred prelomom.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
