Abstract
Melt viscosity during extrusion is a strong indicator of product quality, hence measurement of this variable in real-time is a key target for process control. The suitability of different methods of viscosity monitoring for application in a control scheme is assessed in this work. The responses of in-line and on-line rheometers to steady state and dynamic conditions are investigated. Also, the ability to infer viscosity by monitoring of other process variables is considered.
