Abstract
The applicability of the squeeze film flow geometry in a processibilit y tester is investigated in this study. A prototype processibility tes ter has been built by retrofitting it to a servo-hydraulic load frame. Several processibility parameters such as viscosity and the elastic c omponent in the melt have been investigated. With the concept of equiv alent elastic strain, the extrudate swell can be semi-quantitatively p redicted from the squeeze film flow experiment. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
