1.1 This part of GB/T 11546 specifies the method for measuring the tensile creep of plastic standard specimens under given conditions such as pretreatment, temperature and humidity. 1.2 The methods specified in this Part are applicable to rigid and semi-rigid non-reinforced, filled and fiber-reinforced plastic materials (see GB/T 2035-2008 for definitions), and are applicable to directly molded dumbbell-shaped specimens or samples from thin sheets or Samples obtained from machining of molded articles. 1.3 The methods specified in this section can provide data for engineering design, research and development. The data for engineering design needs to measure the distance between the specimen markings with an extensometer, and the data for research or quality control can be calculated based on the change in the distance between the grips (nominal elongation). 1.4 Tensile creep will vary greatly with the specimen preparation, specimen size and test environment. The thermal history of the specimen can also have a profound effect on the creep behavior of the specimen (see Appendix A). Therefore, these factors should be carefully controlled for accurate comparison of results. 1.5 If the tensile creep properties are used for engineering design, plastic materials should be tested under a wide range of internal stress, time and environmental conditions.
