Abstract

AbstractA method for determining the melt elasticity is developed. The method requires the measurement of axial pressure distribution in a capillary and makes use of the extrapolated value of the pressure at the exit of a capillary, the so‐called “residual pressure.” The same measurement also provides data for determining the flow curve. Measurements were taken with polyethylene and polypropylene. The results are presented and discussed with particular emphasis on the application of the method to various ways of processing polymers.
