Product Details

ISO 11443 and ASTM D3835 are two analogous standards, laying out procedures to analyze the flow properties of polymer melts up to high shear levels. This is used primarily for process design in injection molding and extrusion, where the process designer needs to know how to best design the mould, set temperatures, adjust speed and pressure based on how the polymer melt will flow. The test is performed by means of a capillary rheometer, imposing a series of pre-determined shear rates on the hot fluid by extruding it through a capillary die. The pressure of the fluid as it hits the die is recorded; the resulting data can then be analyzed in order to determine the flow properties. The testing temperature applied can be altered in order to determine the best processing temperature, but for practicality reasons, care should be taken when applying temperatures much higher or lower than the specified melting point.
