Flashcards

Intensification Ratio

The ratio of the area of the injection cylinder to the area of the screw, calculated as (cylinder diameter / screw diameter)^2.

Peak pressure with 20% viscosity increase

If the peak pressure at transfer is 15,000 psispec and there was a twenty percent rise in viscosity, the new peak pressure at transfer would potentially be 18,000 psispec.

Minimum Required Clamp Force

The minimum required clamp force needed to support a mold with four cavities, each a 6-inch diameter circle with a 0.5-inch hole, given a tonnage factor of three tons per square inch.

Study Notes

  • The diameter of the injection cylinder is 8 inches, and the diameter of the screw is 2.5 inches
  • Intensification Ratio is 10.24
  • The peak pressure at transfer is 15,000 psispec and there was a twenty percent rise in viscosity
  • The new peak pressure at transfer is 18,000 psispec
  • A new mold has four cavities and a hot runner
  • Each part is round with a diameter of 6 inches and has a hole with a diameter of 0.500 inch in the center
  • With a tonnage factor of three tons per square inch, the minimum required clamp force needed to support this mold if using a 400-ton machine is 400 tons
