3、ermoplastic compounds.This test method utilizes a screw-extrusion-type capillary rheometer.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the use of a screw-extrusion-type capillary rheometer for the measurement of flow proper-ties of thermoplastics and thermoplastic compounds.Themeasured flow properties,which
4、 are obtained through labora-tory investigation,may help to describe the material behaviorthat occurs in factory processing.1.2 Since a screw-type capillary rheometer imparts shearenergy to the material during testing,the measurements willusually differ from those obtained with a piston-type capilla
