Filler length information

Specifies the initial length and measurement details of the filler material.

The parameters are:

Initial Length

The length of the fillers or fibers before the molding process begins.

NoteFibers having an initial length longer than 1 mm are generally considered as long fibers.

Measurement method

The method used to measure the initial length of the fillers or fibers. Options include:

• Not specified. This is the default setting used when no filler length value is supplied.
• Optical Reflectometer
• Digitizing
• Other method
• Supplemental. This setting indicates that the filler data has been supplemented with a reasonable initial length value, which is not the result of material-specific measurement.

Year measured

The year in which the filler length was measured.
