This thesis involves in concerned about designing and building an uniaxial creep testing machine. The objectives of this study are : 1) develop procedures for designing the main components of the machine which are furnace, loading train, lever arm, machine frame and temperature controller, 2) apply the design procedures for component sizing and preparing the working drawings for manufacturing and 3) evaluate the machine's performance. Overall, the machine satisfies the specifications defined at the beginning of the study. The machine has a load capacity of 800 kg. and be able to conduct the test up to 650 degree celsius. Evaluation of specimen's loading found that the uncertainty for an applied stress is 1 percent at full scale loading. For an applied load range from 200 to 800 kg. the machine produces bending on the specimen of less than 10 percent which psses the ASTM's minimum requirement. Evaluation of specimen's temperature found that the zone length on the specimen with the distribution within the limit of +- degree celsius was 28 mm long. The temperature controller is able to control the temperature in that region within +-1 degree celsius accuracy.
