a comparison of the physical characteristics between Extrusion and Injection Molding methods for producing HDPE pipes.
Extrusion:
• Provides uniform wall thickness and excellent dimensional stability along the length of the pipe.
• Surface finish may vary based on the extrusion process parameters, resulting in some variability.
Injection Molding:
• Allows for the production of more complex geometries and intricate designs compared to extrusion.
• Surface finish tends to be smoother and more consistent due to the use of molds, resulting in a higher-quality appearance.
Overall, while extrusion offers excellent dimensional stability and uniformity, injection molding provides greater design flexibility and a smoother surface finish."
