Abstract
Thermal homogeneity of the polymer melt is essential for the production of high-quality injection molded parts. Previous attempts to accurately measure the real temperature differences in the injection molding process have failed on account of challenging metrological boundary conditions. Researchers have now found a way of using the temperature dependence of ultrasonic speed to develop methods for determining the radial and axial temperature gradients in the space in front of the screw.
