Insenerid kasutavad roomekatsemasinaid, et teha kindlaks materjali stabiilsus ja käitumine tavaliste pingete korral, ning nad mõõdavad, missugust koormust objekt suudab taluda, ja seega saavad kindlaks teha, milliseid materjale kasutada.
Engineers use creep-testing machines to determine the stability and behaviour of a material when put through ordinary stresses, and they determine how much strain (load) an object can handle under pressure, so engineers and researchers are able to determine what materials to use.
