In this case, the spiral flow test was conducted using two different injection speeds (3 in/sec and 5 in/sec). Some part designs may benefit from the use of higher thermal conductivity materials such as beryllium copper.

Please review this material for information concerning the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting and the nominees forff election to our Board of Directors (the “Board”).

A higher injection velocity is needed when processing Gravi-Tech due to the thermal conductivity of the material. 2. DETERMINING COOLING TIME Step 1 – Part Cooling Time The first step is to calculate the cooling time of the part itself. 2 • TMelt = Temperature of the molten plastics • TCoolant = Thermolator temperature • TEject = Temperature the parts can eject without deforming • H = Thickness (Use thickest portion of part) • α = Thermal diffusivity Thermal diffusivity can be calculated using the equation below. • k = Thermal Conductivity Constant • ρ = Density • Cρ = Specific Heat Step 2 – Heat Transfer The next step is to calculate the heat transfer rate. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.
