Determination of creep
behaviour by the hot
end method
This Technical Specification specifies the conditions for the determination of the tensile creep deformation and
failure behaviour of single filaments of ceramic fibres at high temperature and under test conditions that
prevent changes to the material as a result of chemical reaction with the test environment.
This Technical Specification applies to continuous ceramic filaments taken from tows, yarns, braids and
knitted structures, that have strains to failure less than or equal to 5 %.
