ASTM E1457-13
Standard Test Method for Measurement of Creep Crack Growth Times and Rates in Metals
1.1 This test method covers the determination of time for a creep crack to grow on initial load (CCI) and its subsequent creep crack growth (CCG) rates in metals at elevated temperatures using pre-cracked specimens subjected to elevated temperatures under static or quasi-static loading conditions. The tests are validated for either base material (homogenous properties) or mixed base/weld material with inhomogeneous microstructures and creep properties.
