Plastics - Determination of creep behaviour - Part 1: Tensile creep (ISO 899-1:2017)

This document specifies a method for determining the tensile creep of plastics in the form of standard test specimens under specified conditions such as those of pretreatment, temperature and humidity.
The method is suitable for use with rigid and semi-rigid non-reinforced, filled and fibre-reinforced plastics materials in the form of dumb-bell-shaped test specimens moulded directly or machined from sheets or moulded articles.
The method is intended to provide data for engineering-design and research and development purposes.
Data for engineering-design purposes requires the use of extensometers to measure the gauge length
of the specimen. Data for research or quality-control purposes may use the change in distance between the grips (nominal extension).
Tensile creep can vary significantly with differences in specimen preparation and dimensions and in the test environment. The thermal history of the test specimen can also have profound effects on its creep behaviour (see Annex A). Consequently, when precise comparative results are required, these factors are intended to be carefully controlled.
If tensile-creep properties are used for engineering-design purposes, the plastics materials are intended to be tested over a broad range of stresses, times and environmental conditions.

Plastiques - Détermination du comportement au fluage - Partie 1: Fluage en traction (ISO 899-1:2017)

L'ISO 899-1 spécifie une méthode de détermination du fluage en traction des plastiques sous forme d'éprouvettes normalisées dans des conditions spécifiées, telles qu'en matière de traitement préalable, température et humidité.
Cette méthode est destinée aux plastiques rigides et semi rigides, non renforcés, chargés et renforcés par des fibres sous forme d'éprouvettes en forme d'haltères moulées directement ou usinées à partir de feuilles ou d'objets moulés.
Cette méthode est proposée pour fournir des données utiles pour la conception en ingénierie, la recherche et le développement. Les données utiles pour la conception en ingénierie nécessitent l'emploi d'extensomètres positionnés sur la longueur de référence de l'éprouvette. Les données pour la recherche ou le contrôle qualité peuvent utiliser la méthode de fluage en traction nominale.
Le fluage en traction peut dépendre étroitement des différences existant en matière de dimensions et préparation des éprouvettes ainsi qu'en ce qui concerne l'environnement d'essai. L'histoire thermique de l'éprouvette peut également influencer profondément son comportement au fluage (voir Annexe A). En conséquence, lorsque des résultats comparatifs précis sont requis, ces facteurs sont destinés à être soigneusement contrôlés.
Si les caractéristiques de fluage en traction sont destinées à des fins de conception en ingénierie, les matériaux plastiques sont destinés à être soumis à essai dans une large gamme de contraintes, durées et environnements.

Polimerni materiali - Ugotavljanje lezenja - 1. del: Lezenje pri natezni obremenitvi (ISO 899-1:2017)

Ta dokument določa metodo za določevanje lezenja pri natezni obremenitvi polimernih materialov v obliki standardnih preskusnih vzorcev pod določenimi pogoji, npr. pogoji za predhodno obdelavo, temperaturo in vlago.
Metoda je primerna za uporabo s preskusnimi vzorci trdih in poltrdih neojačenih polimernih materialov, polnjenih polimernih materialov ter z vlakni ojačanih polimernih materialov v obliki ročke, ki so neposredno oblikovani oziroma izdelani iz trakov ali oblikovanih predmetov.
Cilj metode je zagotoviti podatke za namene načrtovanja in razvoja.
Za pridobivanje podatkov za namene načrtovanja je treba uporabiti ekstenzometre za merjenje dolžine preskusnega
vzorca. Podatki za namene raziskav ali nadzora kakovosti lahko uporabljajo razliko v razdalji med prižemkami (nazivna razteznost).
Lezenje pri natezni obremenitvi se lahko znatno razlikuje zaradi razlik pri pripravi vzorcev, različnih velikosti vzorcev in razlik v preskusnem okolju. Pretekla temperatura vzorca lahko tudi močno vpliva na njegovo lezenje pri natezni napetosti (glej dodatek A). Zato je za natančne primerljive rezultate treba te dejavnike natančno nadzirati.
Če se lastnosti lezenja pri natezni obremenitvi uporabljajo za namene načrtovanja, je treba polimerne materiale preskusiti pod različnimi obremenitvami, z različnimi časi obremenitve in pri različnih okoljskih pogojih.

Plastics — Determination of creep behaviour —
Part 1:
Tensile creep
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for determining the tensile creep of plastics in the form of standard
test specimens under specified conditions such as those of pretreatment, temperature and humidity.
The method is suitable for use with rigid and semi-rigid non-reinforced, filled and fibre-reinforced
plastics materials in the form of dumb-bell-shaped test specimens moulded directly or machined from
sheets or moulded articles.
The method is intended to provide data for engineering-design and research and development purposes.
Data for engineering-design purposes requires the use of extensometers to measure the gauge length
of the specimen. Data for research or quality-control purposes may use the change in distance between
the grips (nominal extension).
Tensile creep can vary significantly with differences in specimen preparation and dimensions and in
the test environment. The thermal history of the test specimen can also have profound effects on its
creep behaviour (see Annex A). Consequently, when precise comparative results are required, these
factors are intended to be carefully controlled.
If tensile-creep properties are used for engineering-design purposes, the plastics materials are intended
to be tested over a broad range of stresses, times and environmental conditions.

specimen is subjected to simple stress and that the stresses in the loaded section of the specimen may be
assumed to be uniformly distributed over cross-sections perpendicular to the direction of the applied load.
It is recommended that grips be used that will allow the specimen to be fixed in place, correctly aligned,
prior to applying the load. Self-locking grips which allow the specimen to move as the load increases are
not suitable for this test.
4.2 Loading system, capable of ensuring that the load is applied smoothly, without causing transient
overloading, and that the load is maintained to within ± 1 % of the desired load. In creep-to-rupture tests,
provision shall be made to prevent any shocks which occur at the moment of rupture being transmitted
to adjacent loading systems. The loading mechanism shall allow rapid, smooth and reproducible loading.
4.3 Extension-measuring device, comprising any contactless or contact device capable of measuring
the extension of the specimen gauge length or the increase in the distance between the clamp grips under
load without influencing the specimen behaviour by mechanical effects (e.g. undesirable deformations,
notches), other physical effects (e.g. heating of the specimen) or chemical effects.
In the case of contactless (optical) measurement of the strain, the longitudinal axis of the specimen
