According to definition, environmental conditions and all other variable conditions timing, in a certain load under the action of load cell output with limited time.The steady state change is called creep. In the creep test, It should be loaded without impact as soon as possible.The load time is generally within 5-10 senconds.At the same time ,the loading output value should be got within 5-10 senconds.And then within the specified time generally (30minutes),continue to read the output value by a certain time interval in turn.

The complete creep test includes the loading process and the unloading process.The unloading process, also known as the creep recovery test, tests the operation similar to the loading process, it is only in the quick removal that has been maintained.After a certain period of load, measure the sensor's no-load output .Steady state changes over time.Creep and creep recovery are usually applied to the rated load or without ratedload.After the rated load, the measurement is carried out within the specified time and the creep is displayed as percentage of the ratedload.

The creep test could be tested by manual operation or computer.But for manual measurements, if the sampling time interval can be compressed within 5 seconds,It has been quite difficult.

However computer testing completely avoid this problem. If the test program is operated by computer,It could be automatic sampling. And the sampling time intervals could be controlled  gradually from 0.5 seconds,1 sencond,2 second,4 second.The advantage of automatic sampling,

When the sampling condition and the digital load sensor are in the state of loading or unloading.Once you have determined, you can start sampling in the selected time series.After each sampling, you can automatically display the measured value on the computer screen. After sampling is done, the calculation corresponding to each of them can be quickly calculated.The creep or creep recovery value at the sampling time are both shown on the screen.When the whole process of the test is completed, the creep test can be carried out.The results are tabulated a computer screen or displayed on a curve.
