Shrinkage Molding Summary

    Table of contents
    No headers

    The measured in–plane shrinkage, parallel and perpendicular to the flow direction, under a range of injection molding conditions.

    If the material has been shrink tested, this summary lists the following parameters:

    Tmelt
    Temperature of the melt.
    Tmold
    Temperature of the mold.
    FlowRateR
    Flow rate based of the movement of the ram.
    FlowRateF
    Flow rate based on the filling of the cavity.
    RamDiam
    Diameter of the injection molding machine ram.
    RamInit
    Stroke length of the ram.
    Thick
    Part thickness.
    HoldP
    Holding pressure.
    HoldT
    Holding time.
    CoolT
    Cooling time.
    ParaShrink
    Shrinkage parallel to the flow direction.
    PerpShrink
    Shrinkage perpendicular to the flow direction.

    These results are the basis for the Observed shrinkage results.
