Ebook: ECCC recommendations - vol. 3 part 1 - Data acceptability criteria and data generation: generic recommendations for creep, creep rupture, stress rupture and stress relaxation data - 2005 - 171 p

ECCC Recommendations - Volume 3 Part I defines the material pedigree and testing practice information required to accompany (i) existing and (ii) new creep, creep rupture, stress rupture and stress relaxation data for consideration by ECCC. The acceptability criteria for existing test results have been set to make full use of the available data. Those defined for new results are the consequence of a comprehensive review of current testing standards and laboratory procedures (Apps.1,2), and are aimed at improving the quality and homogeneity of data in the future. A number of recommendations are listed as part of the strategy to achieve this goal.
