part weight (g) + overflows (g) x number n

Filling weight = 462 g + 69 g x 1 = 531.5 g

Filling volume = filling weight (g) = 531.5 g = 221.4 cm³

density of melt 2.4

Flow rate Q = filling volume (cm³) = 221.45 cm³ = 7.38 l/s

filling time (ms) 30 ms

Plunger velocity = flow rate Q (l/s) x 10 = 7.38 l/s x10 = 1.16 m/s
plunger area (cm²) 64 cm²

Runner cross-section Agl flow rate Q (l/s) x 1000 = 7.38 l/s x1000 = 246.1 mm²
runner velocity (m/s) 30 m/s

Gate cross-section Aa = flow rate Q (l/s) x 1000 = 7.38 l/s x1000 = 184.5 mm²
gate velocity (m/s) 40 m/s

Gate cross-section = Gate cross-section (mm²) = 184.5 mm² = 184.5 mm²

(per part) number n 1

Filling ratio = shot weight x 100 = 400.0 g x100 = 55 %

effect. Cast vol. x density 302 cm³ x2.4 (max. 66%)

Ventilation cross-section = flow rate Q (l/s) x 1000 = 7.38 l/s x1000 = 49.21 mm²
air speed Vl (100-300 m/s) 150 m/s
