Creep / Rupture of Plastics - ASTM D 2990

"Standard Test Method for Tensile, Compressive, and Flexural Creep and Creep-Rupture of Plastics"
ASTM D 2990 is a standard method to determine the tensile and compressive creep and creep-rupture of plastics under specified environmental conditions.

Data from creep and creep-rupture tests are necessary to predict the creep modulus and strength of materials under long-term loads and to predict dimensional changes that may occur as a result of such loads.
