<P><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3>The quantifiable attributes are usually found in the specification of a PIMM. They should be considered together instead of individually in considering a selection. The significance of each is explained below.

<P><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3>Most quantifiable attributes in a specification table are the maximum the machine is capable of. If so, a value at or below the maximum could be used.

<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P></FONT>
<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3>Shot weight is an important attribute of the injection unit of a PIMM. Expressed in ounces or grams, this is by far the most commonly used single attribute to select a plastic injection moulding machine. It is not unreasonable to say that it has been abused. </FONT>

<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3>射出重量是注塑机注射单元中非常重要的性能,单位是盎司(ounces)或克(g),这是迄今为止选择PIMM最普遍的性能。说它过时是没道理的。</FONT>
<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P></FONT>
<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3>The reason is simple. A moulder has an article at hand to be moulded. Once the plastic material is selected, it has a weight. A PIMM with sufficient shot weight is then selected. </FONT>
<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P></FONT>
<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P><FONT size=3>原因很简单,任何产品都有重量,因此要选择有足够注射量的PIMM。</FONT>

<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P></FONT>
<P><FONT size=3></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"><FONT size=3>The shot weight is the measured (therefore actual) weight of the plastic 'injected' when the nozzle is free- standing (not held against the mould). The plastic used is usually polystyrene with a specific gravity (S.G.) of 1.05. This is specified in the specification as PS. </FONT>

<P 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">Shot weight should not be equal to the combined weight of the article (or articles for a multicavity mould) plus runners that could be injection moulded. The latter is set at 85% of the shot weight for articles with low requirement, e.g. figurines; 75% of shot weight for articles with high requirement, e.g. crystal parts. The discrepancy is due the much higher injection pressure when there is a mould. High requirement moulding uses high injection pressure. </FONT></P>
