A method of determining a residence time distribution comprises mixing a molding batch (104) and a tracer (105), wherein the tracer has a ferroelectric curie temperature above 120° C., and transmitting the mixture through a capacitor (107). Further, the method comprises measuring a capacitance of the capacitor, and determining a residence time distribution based on the measured capacitance. In particular, the ferroelectric curie temperature of the tracer may be above 150° C. and preferably the ferroelectric curie temperature of the tracer is above 200° C.

Disclosed is a method for detecting flaws in polymer tubes, especially tubes made of crosslinked polyethylene. The inventive method is characterized in that the tube (2) that is to be tested is exposed to the electric field of a capacitive triple electrode method in a housing (1) comprising a central housing part (3) and housing flanges (4A; 4B). The respective flaw (13) generates test signals which are used for marking or eliminating the flaw (13).

An apparatus for processing thermoplastic synthetic plastic material to be recycled comprises a first receptacle (1) and a second receptacle (2) for the material to be processed. Within both receptacles (1, 2) tools (21) for mixing and heating the material circulate around a vertical axis each. The material reaches the second receptacle (2) which is connected to an evacuating means (9), from the first receptacle (1) through a connecting conduit (3). The first receptacle (1) has above it an intake opening (19) for the material to be processed, and the mouth of the connecting conduit (3) in the second receptacle (2) is disposed at a higher level than the tools (21) circulating in this receptacle (2). The material processed is carried off the second receptacle (2) through a discharge opening (49) by means of at least one screw (47), whereby this receptacle is vacuum-tightly closed. A sluice (6) is connected to the intake opening (19) of the first receptacle (1) that also is connected to an evacuating means (9). In both receptacles (1, 2) at least two tools (21) each circulate in different levels, disposed one upon the other, wherein the intake opening (19) in the first receptacle (1) is disposed higher than the uppermost tools (21) circulating in this receptacle (1). The discharge opening (49) of the second receptacle (2) is disposed at least substantially at the level of the lowermost tools (21) circulating in this receptacle (2). In each one of the two receptacles (1, 2) at least one temperature sensor (32) is provided for each plane of the circulating tools (21), which sensor is disposed higher than its associated plane.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for producing an elastomeric extrudate having a constant cross section area. The extrudate is shaped in to a ribbon through a roller die and applied to a tire surface mounted on a rotating spindle. Digital electronic circuitry is employed to provide precise shaft synchronization at a pre-selected rotational velocity ratio between the rotating shafts. The synchronization assures repeatable velocity synchronization between the source of elastomeric material and a take-up device at the axis of rotation of the two components. The elastomeric material is extruded in a manner permitting control over the wrap operation and the amount of elastomeric material employed for a given cycle.

Powderous, granular, and/or liquidous substances such as thermoplastic or elastomeric materials are mixed with each other or with fillers, additives, etc. in that the mixing operation is continued until a predetermined amount of mixing work has been expended. The mixing operation can be controlled as to its entire duration on that basis as well as with regard to completion of intermediate steps.

When extrusion of a molten resin by means of an extruder is started, a simple polyetherimide resin is melt extruded from a lip portion 7a of a T-die 7, and a film of the simple polyetherimide resin is molded. The molding material is then switched to a resin composition including the polyetherimide resin and a fluorine resin and then a film of the resin composition is continuously extruded and molded from the T-die 7. Having been covered with a very thin film 8a of the simple polyetherimide resin, on a flow passage face of the lip portion 7a of the T-die 7, a resin composition layer 8b including a polyetherimide resin and a fluorine resin, which has affinity with the film 8a, is then formed at a center part.
摘要:
An insulator composition of foamed synthetic resin is supplied to an extruder 3, and the synthetic resin is extruded onto a wire 4a continuously supplied to the extruder 3 at a temperature higher than or equal to a foaming temperature, to cover the wire 4a with the insulator composition. Then, the wire 4a covered with the insulator composition is solidified by cooling in a water-cooling trough 6 movable towards and away from the extruder 3 in a direction of supply of the wire 4a. In this operation, an outer diameter D and a capacitance C of the insulator composition are controlled such that when the water-cooling trough 6 reaches its movable limit, either a deviation .DELTA.D of a detection value of the outer diameter D from its target preset value or a deviation .DELTA.C of a detection value of the capacitance C from its target preset value is selected as a deviation (.DELTA.D or .DELTA.C) that may first exceed a tolerance range upon changing an amount of supply of the insulator composition to the extruder 3, and then the amount of supply is controlled so that the other deviation (.DELTA.C or .DELTA.D) is decreased under the condition where the selected deviation (.DELTA.D or .DELTA.C) falls within the tolerance.

A conductive element (22) is preheated by a preheat power supply (34) to an initial temperature which is a function of line speed. The preheated conductive element (22) is advanced through an extruder (32) whereat a cellular insulation layer (24) and a solid plastic insulation layer (26) are extruded thereabout to form an insulated conductor (20). The insulated conductor (20) is advanced through an air gap (38) whereat the cellular insulation layer 24 expands about the conductive element (22). The insulated conductor (20) is then quenched at a point to stop the expansion of the cellular insulation layer by passing the insulated conductor into a cooling bath (40).A capacitance monitor (50) measures the coaxial capacitance of the insulated conductor (20) and develops an error signal. Thereafter, a microcomputer (54) facilitates the adjustment of the temperature of conductive element (22) as a function of line speed and the error signal and the adjustment of the point of quenching as a function of the error signal. The adjustment of the temperature and the point of quenching facilitates control of the expansion of the cellular insulation layer (24).
摘要:
Apparatus for ascertaining the concentricity of the core of an elongated cable with its coating includes a means for establishing a predetermined axial position of the core with respect to the apparatus, as by sensing the intensity of a magnetic field produced by a current induced in the core. With the core in the established position, a second means ascertains the position of the lateral or transverse cross sectional dimension of the cable. Such means may comprise a photoelectric device responsive to the shadow of the cable. Any deviation in the position of the cross sectional dimension results from eccentricity and may be used as an indication of such.
