Abstract
In injection molding processes, the property of molten resin should be characterized accurately. Among several properties, the PvT state is the most important one, since it affects the shrinkage, warpage, molded weight, and the part density. Thus, the PvT data is crucial to the simulation of the injection molding process. This work shows how such a measurement can be performed for a semi-crystalline and amorphous polymers. The PvT measurement has been conducted using a capillary rheometer using a suitable accessory that blocks the capillary. The results have shown that the PvT data can be obtained using such a rheometer and then the PvT coefficients of the Tait equation can be reached.
