Binding Extensional Viscosity
Test ID
R-017
Description
This test follows a scheme for the analytical evaluation of the extensional viscosity from capillary rheology data obtained using an orifice die. The scheme is based on Binding's attempt to provide a mathematically rigorous solution to Cogswell's method for determining extensional viscosity (DM Binding, J. Non-Newt Fl. Mech, 27 (1988), 173-189). Orifice data are taken over a range of shear rates. The data are transformed to extensional viscosity.
Options
Standards

Data
Shear Viscosity v. Shear Rate. This data appears in Matereality as Capillary Viscosity.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 1
Samples
0.5 kg of pellets [details]
Application
Extensional flows occur in many polymer processing applications. Such flows can play an important role in extrusion and blow-molding processes. In injection-molding, flow through runners and gates may be dominated by extensional effects where large contractions are present.
