Abstract
The paper is a report of tests on the circumferential and longitudinal creep, under internal pressure and high temperature, in steel tubes such as are used in boilers and oil stills. A description of the testing apparatus is given and the results are shown in the form of tables and curves comparing the tubular creep with the creep of tensile specimens at the same stress. The tentative conclusion is reached that the circumferential creep is about half that of tensile specimens. The longitudinal creep is negligible.
