Longitudinal reversion rate of random copolymer polypropylene pipe special material pipes exceeding the standard (Variant: strengthened measures)
Problem Phenomenon
After the pipe is heated under the specified temperature and time conditions, the longitudinal reversion rate exceeds the standard limit.
Reversion rate exceeding the standard reflects large internal stress or imperfect crystallization of the pipe, affecting the use reliability of the pipe.
In particular, extra attention is needed on the original basis, this problem is more prominent and needs key attention.
Cause Analysis
（1）The residual internal stress of random copolymer polypropylene pipe special material after extrusion is large
（2）The cooling rate is too fast, and the molecular chain orientation is not relaxed
（3）The haul-off speed is too large, and the pipe is excessively stretched in the longitudinal direction
（4）The barrel temperature is low, and the melt plasticization is insufficient
（5）The sizing cooling is insufficient
（6）On the original basis, extra attention is needed: process parameter fluctuations or equipment status changes have aggravated this problem
Solution
（1）Appropriately raise the barrel temperature to a reasonable value within the range of 200-220°C to improve plasticization
（2）Appropriately reduce the cooling rate to allow time for the molecular chains to relax
（3）Adjust the haul-off speed and reduce the draw ratio
（4）Increase the length of the cooling water tank to ensure sufficient cooling
（5）After the pipe is demolded, perform water bath annealing to eliminate internal stress
（6）And strengthen process monitoring; on the original basis, extra attention is needed, with special attention to parameter stability
Key Takeaway
Reversion rate exceeding the standard is caused by large internal stress or excessive orientation, and needs to be solved from temperature control, cooling rate, and haul-off speed.
In different production scenarios, targeted preventive measures need to be taken.
