Summary of Test Method4.1 The principle of this test method is to

16、 compare moldcavity dimensions with specimen dimensions and report thedifferences in percent.5. Significance and Use5.1 Injection MoldingIn 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

17、the molding process. Factors such as mold andmelt temperature, fill times, and packing conditions are knownto affect shrinkage significantly. Adherence to the specifiedmold design (see 7.1) and specifications outlined in PracticeD3641 or ISO 294-4 or the appropriate material specificationwill improv

18、e the reproducibility of the test.5.2 Compression MoldingIn compression molding, thedifference between the dimensions of a mold cavity and 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

19、 time, and pressureapplication are known to affect shrinkage significantly. Adher-ence to the specified mold design (see 7.2) and specificationsoutlined in Practice D4703 or ISO 293 or the appropriatematerial specifications will improve the reproducibility of thetest.6. Sample Preparation6.1 Some ma

20、terials require special treatment before they aremolded. For example, thermoplastics, which absorb moisturemust be dried before molding.

47、ns Type A and Type B,involving five thermoplastics materials tested by eight labora-tories. Each material was supplied in granular form to each ofthe testing laboratories by a single supplier. The resins werehandled in accordance with the suppliers instructions and weremolded in accordance with Prac

48、tice D3641. Each test result isthe average of five individual determinations from successiveinjection molding cycles. Each laboratory obtained one testresult for each material.8NOTE 6A repeatability study was conducted in Europe using speci-men Type D2. The results, including suggested cavity hold p

49、ressure forvarious materials, are shown in Appendix X1.12.1.2 Repeatability estimates Srand r were made bytreating the five individual determinations from successiveinjection molding cycles as test results. 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 on
