Melt Density


Test ID

D-015

Description

The material pellets are loaded into the barrel of a capillary rheometer which is at the test temperature.  After it has melted, the material is extruded at a constant volumetric flow rate.  Three separate extrudate specimens are taken over a measured time period.  The mass of each sample is determined.  Knowing the volumetric flow rate, and the time period of each sample taken, we can determine the volume.
