Question

shrinkage, Die/Punch, Bend Allowe... (1 of 3) 000:05:29 D Time Spent Q1: 13.16 SI units) The foreman in the injection-molding department says that a high density polyethylene part produced in one of the operations has greater sh calculations indicate it should have. The important dimension of the part is specified as 120.5 ±0.25 mm. However, the actual molded part measures 120.02 mm. As a first step. the corresponding mold cavity dimension should be checked. Compute the correct value of the mold dimension, given that the shrinkage value for HDPE in Table 13.1 kage than the e for of s ABS terephthalate Nylon-66 Polycarbonate
