Cooling Time Calculator

First-term flat-wall conduction estimate. Enter grade-specific thermal diffusivity; the default is a hypothetical arithmetic example, not validated material data.

Entered parameters

No current calculation

Enter and review the parameters, then calculate. The fixed example below is not your current result.

Method and boundaries

t = h²/(π²α) ln[(4/π)(Tm−Tc)/(Te−Tc)]. Requires melt > ejection > coolant. α is user-entered in mm²/s; obtain temperature-appropriate data from the material supplier. Flat-wall, constant-property, perfect-contact approximation only; crystallization, mold temperature variation and the rest of the molding cycle are excluded. Sensitivity rows are limited to the same ordered-temperature domain. This is mathematical estimation, not production-cycle validation.

Fixed worked example — not a live result

Hypothetical fixed example: h=2.5 mm, α=0.08 mm²/s, melt=230°C, ejection=80°C, coolant=25°C gives 12.326682 seconds. At h=3 mm it gives 17.750422 seconds. These example properties are not a resin datasheet.
