Selection of Nominal Wall Thickness of Plastic Part
๐ Application of the part: – Nominal wall thickness of the part is the major contributor which affect structural requirements such as strength, impact strength, fatigue, deflection, electric load, etc.
๐ Requirements of product approval agency: – Plastic part thickness plays critical role in defining some of the agency approval properties such as UL flammability ratings.
๐ Moldability: – The size of the part and ability of the material to fill the furthest portion could determine the minimum wall thickness of the part.
๐ Every molding process has typical and feasible part thickness limitations.
