Creep testing, also referred to as cold flow, refers to how a material slowly moves or changes shape when a load is applied. Measuring Creep typically involves applying high temperatures to a sample for long periods of time while also applying the load, so the use of Environmental Chambers along with a test frame with highly accurate speed controls is common for this type of test. Creep testing is often performed on metals that are designed to work in high stress or high temperature environments such as engine parts and related components.

Coating Film Thickness Measurement Explained: Wet Film, Dry Film, and Contactless Methods (ISO 2808)
Why film thickness is a critical quality control parameter Film thickness is one of the most important quality checks for any applied coating. Get it wrong in either direction and the coating fails to do its job. Too thin, and it will not provide the protection, appearance, or function the specification calls for. Too thick,…
