I have always wondered how confident we can be when it comes to analysing results from physical testing i.e. tensile strength, elongation, modulus, etc etc. How reliable are these results?? I always have the concern of imperfections with test pieces. Can anyone give me some...
Hello,
The process with which I am involved comprises feeding of polymers in granules form. This is done through feeders with feeding screws. The screw or screws transport the pellets to be fed into the extruder. The problem is that the granules stick to the outside tube of the feeder due to...

Thanks again
