SIMPOE Thermoplastic Filling Analysis
Test ID
G-242
Description
Properties needed to perform a mold filling analysis are generated. These include: Viscosity vs. shear rate at 3 temperatures (two in the processing range and one below), specific heat and transition analysis, thermal conductivity, and specific volume vs. temperature and pressure (PVT). Viscosity data is fit to a Cross material model and PVT data is fit to the modified Tait model for easy implementation into the software.
Included Tests
| 1x | D-020 | PVT (Isothermal Heating) |
| 3x | R-011 | Capillary Rheology (1 Temperature) |
| 1x | T-101 | Thermal Conductivity (Melt) |
| 1x | T-015 | Specific Heat |
Options
To simulate the post molding behavior (shrinkage/warpage), please see the SIMPOE thermoplastic filling with warpage TestPak [G-244].
Samples
: 2 kg of pellets
[details]: 1 parts, any shape
[details]Application
The filling properties allow the user to simulate the flow of polymer through runners and fill the mold cavity and pressurize the cavity.
