Gate Seal Time / Holding Time for Hot Runners

[Suhas]

Hello All,
Doing a survey and so all I want is a YES or NO. In a separate thread I will discuss this matter. Sorry to be so direct, but a simple Yes and No is what I need.
Question: For optimizing the holding time in cold runner molds there is a standardized procedure of performing a part weight versus holding time graph. Have you heard of a standard procedure for optimizing holding time for hot runner molds. Yes? No?
Thanks,
Suhas

Yes I have

Simple 3 letters won't work due to a minimum required.

This a subject that I just encountered Friday. I was sampling a 4 cavity hot runner mold and did a complete rheology study on.
I added 1 extra second on valve gate timer to insure that gates stayed open throughout hold pressure study.
How do others typically approach rheology study on hot tip mold?

Hi Back4More,
Please give me couple weeks and I will be posting some literature. I have an interesting concept. I am planing a free webinar.
Thanks,
Suhas
