It is a measurement device to determine if slow movement is taking place between two parts of an object. An example is two sides of a potential earthquake fault line or rocks on a cliff that may produce an avalanche.

Creep meters an be made from piezoelectric sensors that measure changes in the relative positions of material on each side of the material that may move through compression or tension. They can also measure the distances by the interference patterns of light bounced back from the moving side of the system.

What is meant by creeping in energy meter?

Hii creep is a phenomenon that can adversely affect accuracy, that occurs when the meter disc rotates continuously with potential applied and the load terminals open circuited. A test for error due to creep is called a creep test.

Does a creep meter measure vertical movement?

No, a creep meter measures horizontal movement along a fault line caused by tectonic forces. It is used to monitor slow, continuous creep along faults, which can help scientists better understand the strain accumulation and potential for seismic activity in an area.
