The tests are performed on creep machines, which uniaxial tension of the specimen is obtained by gravity using calibrated weights hanged on the creep frame arm.
Laboratory capabilities:
36 test stands (creep frames) which enable the conduct three types of tests: with deformation registration, with registration of the time to break, performing LCF fatigue tests on 14 positions using elevators.
Test temperature up to 1100°C realized by “”S”” type thermocouples
Tensile force up to 50kN.
Registration of specimen deformation using high-temperature extensometers.
Supervision and registration of tests by computer system in a real time.
Creep tests performed in accordance with ASTM E139, E292 and ISO 204.
Due to the long testing time, the creep laboratory is equipped with a UPS voltage backup system and air-conditioned rooms with temperature and air humidity registration.
Certificates:
Certificate of accreditation according to PN-EN ISO / IEC 17025: 2018 – number AB 792.
Certificate of qualification according S-400 specification – issued by GE Aviation.
Pratt & Whitney mechanical test certification.
