Dimensional stability measuring

The dimensional stability of injection moulded articles is very critical. The so called mould shrinkage is the parameter of interest.

Intertek has the capability to support your material development or solve the problems you’re facing in this area. Intertek has several injection moulding machines and moulds at its disposal, as well as a 3-D CNC measuring machine for very accurate determination of dimensions of all kind of articles. The accuracy is dependent on the size of the article but will be about 4 µ. The method is based on ISO 294-4. Typical dimensions of an injection moulded plaque to determine the mould shrinkage, would be 65x65x3.2 mm or 80x80x2.2 mm.
