If the machine is not capable of being controlled by fill speed, set the injection pressure high enough to fill the runner system and cavity in about 1 to 5 seconds.

The Parties shall keep each other informed about such disputes and, where appropriate, cooperate in resolving them. The data importer agrees to notify the data exporter and, where possible, the data subject promptly (if necessary with the help of the data exporter) if it: i. receives a legally binding request from a public authority, including judicial authorities, under the laws of the country of destination for the disclosure of personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses; such notification shall include information about the personal data requested, the requesting authority, the legal basis for the request and the response provided; or ii. becomes aware of any direct access by public authorities to personal data transferred pursuant to these Clauses in accordance with the laws of the country of destination; such notification shall include all information available to the importer. The Parties shall keep each other informed about such disputes and, where appropriate, cooperate in resolving them.

The maximum height should be about 2.5 times the nominal wall thickness (2.5W). It is better to fill out the part at slower speeds in-order to let any compressed air escape, and to get the best surface finish on the part.3 • Using all of the previous settings, record the Transfer Pressure, Fill Time, and Injection speed • Reduce the injection velocity by 10% and record the same values Transfer (psi) Fill Time (sec) Injection Velocity (in/sec) Relative Shear Rate Relative Viscosity 1238 0.20 8.00 5.00 247.60 1125 0.22 7.00 4.55 247.50 1058 0.25 6.00 4.00 264.50 960 0.35 5.00 2.86 336.12 870 0.45 4.00 2.22 391.65 780 0.58 3.00 1.72 452.59 690 0.85 2.00 1.18 586.78 600 1.35 1.00 0.74 810.45 510 2.50 0.75 0.40 1275.83 420 5.23 0.50 0.19 2198.34 330 9.56 0.25 0.10 3157.99 240 15.26 0.10 0.07 3667.49 FIGURE 47 - Injection Speed 22 Gravi-Tech • Keep reducing the injection velocity until a fill time of 10-15 seconds is reached • Calculate the Relative Viscosity for each of the Injection Speeds using the equation above (Transfer Pressure * Fill Time) • Calculate the Relative Shear Rate for each of the injection speeds using the equation (1/Fill Time) • Plot the points on a graph and find the optimum velocity • The optimum velocity will be where the curve starts to level out In figure 48 above, the optimum velocity is where the plotted line crosses the black trend line; therefore the optimum velocity would be about 1.00 in/sec.
