BRIEF HISTORY
The IS0 Recommendation R 204, Non Interrupted Creep Testing of Steel at Elevated
Temperatures, was drawn up by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, the Secretariat of which
is held by the British Standards Institution (B.S.I.).
Work on this matter, which was begun by the Technical Committee in 1955, was com-
pleted in 1958, with the adoption of a proposal as a Draft IS0 Recommendation.
On 4 November 1959, the Draft IS0 Recommendation (No. 293) was distributed to all
the IS0 Member Bodies and was approved, subject to some editorial amendments, by the following
Member Bodies :
Australia Finland Netherlands
Austria France Norway
Belgium Germany Portugal
Romania
Brazil Greece
Bulgaria Hungary Spain
Burma India Sweden
Chile Israel Turkey
Czechoslovakia Italy United Kingdom
Japan
Denmark U.S.S.R.
One Member Body opposed the approval of the Draft: Poland.
The Draft IS0 Recommendation was then submitted by correspondence to the IS0 Council,
which decided, in June 1961, to accept it as an IS0 RECOMMENDATION.

IS0 Recommendation R 204 June 1961
NON-INTERRUPTED CREEP TESTING OF STEEL
AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
1. SCOPE
This IS0 Recommendation applies to those tests in which the strain is measured under tensile
creep stress and lies between 0.1 and 1.0 per cent, and in which the period of testing does not
exceed 10 O00 hours.”
It applies to tests in single machines and to each test in multiple testing machines.
2. PRINCIPLE OF TEST
The test consists of heating a test piece to a uniform temperature and subjecting it to constant
tensile load at that constant temperature without interruption, and determining the strain as a
function of time under load.
3. DEFINITIONS
3.1 Gauge length. At any moment during the test, the prescribed part of the cylindrical or pris-
matic portion of the test piece on which elongation is measured. In particular,
Original gauge length (Lo). Gauge length measured at ambient temperature, before
applying the load.
At any moment during the test, load divided by the
3.2 Stress (actually “nominal stress”).
original cross-sectional area of the test piece (at ambient temperature).
3.3 Percentage permanent elongation. Variation of the gauge length of a test piece subjected to
a prescribed stress (see clause 3.2) and, after removal of same, expressed as a percentage of
the original gauge length.
* This limit of 10 000 hours is fixed as a function of the conditions of test, and in particular of the temperature limits specified in section 7.
For tests of more than 10 O00 hours, the tolerances should he agreed between the parties.

5. TEST PIECES
5.1 The cross-section of the test piece may be circular, square, rectangular, or, in special cases,
of other form.
5.2 There should be transition curves between the gripped ends and the parallel length; the
gripped ends may be of any shape to suit the holders of the testing machine.
5.3 The tolerances on the preparation of the test pieces should be in accordance with those
given in the table, page 5.
5.4 As a rule, the diameter of the parallel length of machined cylindrical test pieces should be
not less than 4.0 mm (0.16 in).
