Measuring Resin Shrinkage
This video covers the topic of ‘measuring resin shrinkage’ for resin systems that undergo cure from a liquid state to a solid state. The method of measuring this shrinkage is shown in the steps of measuring liquid resin density and measuring solid resin density. The numbers from the measurement steps are then used to calculate both volume percent shrinkage and linear percent shrinkage.
