Shrinkage Molding Summary

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

If the material is 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.
