Summary of Test Method4.1 The principle of this test method is to compare moldcavity dimensions with specimen dimensions and report thedifferences in percent.5. Significance and Use5.1 Injection MoldingIn

16、 injection molding, the differencebetween the dimensions of a mold cavity and of the moldedspecimen may vary according to the design of the mold andoperation of the molding process.

17、y. Adherence to the specifiedmold design (see 7.1) and specifications outlined in PracticeD 3641 or ISO 294-4 or the appropriate material specificationwill improve the reproducibility of the test.5.2 Compression MoldingIn compression molding, thedifference between the dimensions of a mold cavity and

18、 of themolded specimen may vary according to the design of the moldand operation of the molding process. Factors, such as theamount of material in charge, cooling time, and pressureapplication are known to affect shrinkage significantly. Adher-ence to the specified mold design (see 7.2) and specific

19、ationsoutlined in Practice D 4703 or ISO 293 or the appropriatematerial specifications will improve the reproducibility of thetest.6.

Precision and Bias12.1 Precision:12.1.1 Tables 1-3 summarize data from a round robin4conducted in 1988, using specimens Type A and Type B,involving five thermoplastics materials tested by eight labora-tories. Each material was

The resins werehandled in accordance with the suppliers instructions and weremolded in accordance with Practice D 3641. Each test result isthe average of five individual determinations from successiveinjection molding

The results, including suggested cavity hold pressure forvarious materials, are shown in Appendix X1.12.1.2 Repeatability estimates Srand r were made bytre

Poorer precision (largervalues of Srand r) would be expected if the same operator wereto shutdown and then restart the injection molding machine onthe same day with the same mold, material and operating setpoints. Repeatability under such circumstances was not evalu-ated.12.1.3 The following explanations of r and R only areintended to present a meaningful way of considering the4Supporting data are available from ASTM Headquarters.
