The invention discloses a device for testing material creep under the coupling action of tensile stress and the environment. The device comprises a support, a weight, a heating jacket, a container containing a saturated inorganic salt solution, a strain demodulator, a power supply, a temperature controller, a strain sensor and a test piece, wherein the support comprises a positioning plate, an upper spherical hinge, an upper clamping head, a supporting rod, a bearing plate, a base plate, a lower clamping head and a lower spherical hinge; the supporting rod is connected with the bearing plate through a sliding bearing; the test piece is embedded in a groove in the upper clamping head and a groove in the lower clamping head; the weight is positioned on the bearing plate; the heating jacket covers on the outer side of the support; the container is positioned between the support and the heating jacket; the strain sensor is adhered to the outer wall surface of the test piece; and the temperature controller is connected with the ring-shaped heating jacket. By adopting the device, the reliability of the test process can be improved, and the accuracy of results is ensured. Meanwhile, the invention also discloses a test method for the test device. The method is simple and easy to operate, and can keep that the test piece does not generate stress relaxation in the process of long-term load application, and the stress is uniformly distributed.
