Abstract
The filament stretching device which is used increasingly as an appara tus for measuring extensional properties of polymeric liquids is analy sed. A force balance that includes the effects of inertia and surface tension is derived. The force balance may be used to correct for the e ffects of inertia and surface tension, provided online measurements of the filament surface shape are available. In addition, the question o f initial asymmetry due to gravity is addressed.
