Description

---

This reference guide was originally prepared in 1990 as a convenient pocket sized resource for use in Injection Molding. This information is most useful by personnel who work in the injection molding field including press operators, technicians, engineers, designers, mold builders, etc.There are many reference data tables regarding plastics data, statistical methods, engineering calculations and valuable training for personnel in the IM industry. The book includes basic part design, trig tables, calculations for thermal expansion, thermal exp coeffs, SHCS data, torque specs, shrink data, cooling time equation, mold debug guidelines, melt index data, resin density data, many tables of process guidelines, process development techniques, calculating heat load & water flow requirements, pipe data, conversion factors, transformer & motor current, PM & safety, basic statistics, equip selection guidelines and more.This 4th Edition has been reformatted at 5.5 inches wide x 8.5 inches tall in 2011 for print sales.
