Injection Mold Shrinkage Testing
Measuring injection mould shrinkage.
The dimensional stability of injection moulded articles is critical. Mould shrinkage measurement is important for the manufacturing process. Intertek supports clients with injection mould testing. Intertek specialists have a broad range of injection moulding machines and moulds at their disposal for small-andlarge-scale experiments.
For accurate determination of dimensional properties and Injection Mould Shrinkage, Intertek operates a 3 diemsional measuring device (3-D CNC measuring machine). The accuracy (size-dependent) is about 4 µm. The method is based on ISO 294-4. Typical dimension of an injection moulded plaque to determine the mould shrinkage, would be 65x65x3.2 mm or 80x80x2.2 mm.
