New Test Method for Creep Testing for Overhead Electrical Conductors

1. Scope

This testing method covers the measurement of the long-term creep characteristics of conductors for overhead power lines.

Keywords

Creep,; Conductor; Strain

Rationale

This would be the partner standard to ASTM B1008: Standard Test Method for Stress-Strain Testing for Overhead Electrical Conductors. Currently there is not an ASTM standard that covers creep testing for overhead conductors.
