IMPROVED PROBE SENSOR AND METHOD FOR A POLYMERIC PROCESS

摘要

A method for processing a polymeric article, by introducing ingredients including a polymeric material for forming a polymeric article into an apparatus including a wall surface (42) over which the polymeric material travels in at least a fluidic state, and an orifice through which the ingredients exit the apparatus. The ingredients are mixed while in the apparatus to form a polymeric ingredients mixture. A corrosion response of the wall surface of the apparatus is monitored with at least one resistance corrosion sensing probe (20) that is flush mounted with the interior wall surface (42). The polymeric mixture is solidified after it exits the orifice for forming the polymeric article and mitigating corrosion detected by the monitoring step.
