POLYFLOW Extrusion (Viscous Isothermal)


Test ID

G-310

Description

Properties needed to perform an extrusion simulation are generated. These include viscosity vs. shear rate data at the processing temperature and solid density. KBKZ model fitting for Polyflow is performed.

Included Tests

1x D-015 Melt Density
1x R-011 Capillary Rheology (1 Temperature)

Options

Samples

: 1 kg of pellets

Application

Simulations of isothermal extrusion applications may be carried out. This represents the simplest level of POLYFLOW simulations and may be used for non-temperature sensitive materials or where the temperature gradients in the configuration being simulated are not large. Visco-elastic effects are assumed to be insignificant.
