It is important for the design of a high performance hose joint to consider the creep properties of the hose materials. The compressive creep tests were performed in order to examine silicon rubber which is one of the hose materials, under various load and temperature. It is clarified that the compressive properties of silicon rubber depend on the testing load but don't depend on the test temperature. Moreover, the properties of silicon rubber was compared with those of polyvinyl chloride rubber.
