CALIBRATION SYSTEMS
Presented by,
Vishal K P.
Dept. of PS&RT
CUSAT
Introduction
? Extrudate emerges out from die as semi-molten
substance and need to be cooled to harden.
? Calibration systems or Extrusion sizing chills and
sizes the extrudate without much defects.
? For tubular films, cold air impingement may be
sufficient, but for rigid tubes more positive
methods must be employed.
? They are also known as forming boxes, sizing
formers, sizing die, etc.
Two types of calibrators for rigid &
semi-rigid tubes:
? External calibrators
? Internal calibrators
External calibrators
? Employs a water-cooled forming tube in
conjunction with internal air pressure.
? It consist of a water jacketed tube, the bore of
which is made to the required outer diameter
of the pipe + any allowances.
? This assembly is mounted in exact alignment
at the front of the extruder die.
Working:
? The thermoplastics tube is continuously
inflated from inside such that it comes in
sliding contact with the chilled interior wall of
the calibrator.
? The outer layer become frozen and become
supporting.
? The final cooling is done by passing through a
water bath.
Length of the calibrator tube:
? Length must be chosen such that the outer
layer of the pipe gets frozen to a sufficient
depth for self supporting during cooling.
? The shortest length must be chosen so as to
avoid friction, strain and inconvenience.
Problems:
? Reason: The tubes are inflated by internal
pressure, so must be sealed at both ends to
prevent air loss.
? Commonly used system to prevent air loss:
Floating plug attached to the die mandrel by
means of a chain or other flexible members.
Air loss through ends of the tube
? Vacuum is used to minimize the pressure loss.
? Two methods of vacuum sizing are used:
*Single unit, alternative cooling and vacuum
sections control the sizing of the tube.
*Longitudinally adjustable vacuum sizing units
within a cooling tank.
Internal calibrators
? Employs a cooled mandrel and secondary
external cooling.
? It consist of a tapered water cooled extension
to the mandrel which fixes the diameter of
pipe as in external calibration.
? It cools the tube both from inside and outside.
? It has higher rate of cooling hence sizing of the
tube.
? The extrudate is drawn over the extended
mandrel-It tends to shrinks on cooling.
? The shrinkage provides the calibration pressure
to size the product.
? The usual tapering dimensions are 0.004mm per
mm of extended mandrel length.
? Mandrel temperature for medium density P.E-
55<C, for rigid PVC pipe-lower ranges.
Drawbacks of Internal and External
calibrators
? In external system, the outside of the tube is
in sliding contact with smooth cooled metal
surface and gives polished surface, but interior
remains rough.
? The internal system gives better product and it
give a smooth product both from inside and
outside.
A combined external-internal system can be
used to overcome the drawbacks.
Combined External and Internal
calibration
? Here, a short water cooled external calibrator
is combined with an extended mandrel which
is heated at its upstream end.
? A high finish is given to the tube exterior by
contact with external calibrator, and by means
of carefully designed internal flow channels.
