Abstract: The Monkman-Grant relation has the potential to reduce the development cycle for new materials, as it provides a means of lifing based on minimum creep rates that are typically observed early on. This paper outlines problems in estimating the nature of this relation using the least squares technique that stems from errors made in measuring failure times and minimum creep rates. The paper outlines some solutions to this problem that have been proposed within the scientific literature – such as reverse regression and the Deming regression. The evidence from the materials studied in this paper, suggest that the use of least squares results in overly conservative lifetime predictions when using the Monkman-Grant relation. It was found that for 2.25Cr-1Mo steel, the life expected for a minimum creep rate of 3.67E-12s- 1 was 57 years when the least squares technique was used, but this increased to 78 years when using the Deming regression.
