MATERIAL STANDARD TESTING FOR EXTRUSION OF PLASTIC

摘要

A sampling connection is provided between an extruder and die tooling to divert a portion of the extruded plastic to a sample extrusion die. The sample extrusion die preferably extrudes a flat plastic substrate to allow testing of the properties of the extruded plastic after processing by the extruder and before processing by the die tooling and any further downstream components. This arrangement provides valuable information with respect to the expected properties of a final product and assists in accurate quality control or assessment.
