4. Direct Current Electrical Calculations These calculations are commonly used when working with heaters and hot runner systems.
5. Fluids Sub-Menu
6. Bubbler Size Calculations
7. Equivalent Hydraulic Diameter The equivalent diameter of an annular channel is much smaller than most people think it is. The equivalent diameter of an irregular shaped passage is not the same as a diameter of equal area.
8. Hydraulic Cylinder Calculations You can calculate the forward force, the return force, and number of gallons per minute of hydraulic fluid needed, all while talking to your customer on the phone.
9. Pneumatic Cylinder Calculations Calculate the correct piston bore size for your application. Calculate the forward force Calculate the return force Calculate the SCFM of air required for operation. Get the answers as fast as you can type.
10. Pressure Losses You can calculate the pressure losses in your mold, or hoses. You can also calculate the fact that there is very little pressure lost through small fittings, in many cases.
11. Reynolds Number Make sure that your cooling is maximized by achieving a flow rate that indicates a Reynolds Number over 4000. Make sure that your hydraulic lines don’t exceed a Reynolds Number of 2000. See how anti-freeze hampers your mold cooling!
12. Pressure Drop Through an Orifice
13. More Pressure Losses
14. Minimize corrosion using the galvanic table The closer two metals are in the table, the less likely they are to corrode when placed together in an electrolyte.
15. Gate Sizing
16. Hot Runner Checklist Here’s a list of questions that you can use as a checklist when checking hot runner drawings. The list is based on experience . The checklist is in a limited word processor, so you can add your own items to the list.

34. Production Calculations Calculate the Amount of Material to be Processed Per Hour is found here, as well as in the molding calculations section.
35. Molding Capacity Calculate your production capacity quickly and easily!
36. Convert Hours Into Days or Weeks Sometimes you know your production run in hours, and want to convert it to a larger unit of time. Done and done.
37. Calculate How Many Cavities are Required in Your Mold to Meet Your Production Needs.
38. Calculate How Many Parts Your Mold Can Produce in a Given Amount of Time
39. How long will it take to mold that many parts?
40. Runner Sizing Calculate runner sizes based on part wall thickness. Calculate the size of a feeder runner based on the size and number of branch runners it will be feeding.
41. Strength of Materials Section The strength of materials section is sort of the heart of the DZynSource Mold Engineering Software, and the reason that I originally started writing this code. There are many options from this selection set, and many more choices within each section.
42. Bending and Deflection
43. Cantilever With Load at Opposite End
44. Cantilever, Load at Any Point
45. Three Different Support Scenarios3 Loading Scenarios for Each Support Type
46. Answer Box
47. When you click on the “Moment of Inertia” button, you are presented with 10 standard shapes to choose from. This is the geometric shape of the piece that you are analyzing, at 90 degrees to the “L” direction.
48. Using The Features The Moment of Inertia and Section Modulus are automatically sent to the proper text boxes.
49. Deflection of Circular Discs 2 different loading scenarios, 2 different support scenarios. Good for calculating the distortion from gating on a core, or the collapse of a cap or closure, among other things.
50. Answers The answers for this section appear in a separate dialog box.
51. Fixed Both Ends, Central Load
52. Fixed Both Ends, Load at Any Point
53. Euler’s Long Column Test
54. Parts that meet the requirements to be classified as “Long Columns” are likely to fail by sudden and catastrophic buckling. The L/K test will tell you if the geometry of your part meets the definition of “Long Column”.
55. Critical Load for Long Column Buckling Here again, the modulus of elasticity can be chosen from a list, or entered manually. The moment of inertia is transferred from the worksheet shown earlier.
56. This example shows that the critical load for a 12” long, .125 diameter ejector pin, is about 25 pounds.
57. Calculate the expansion of a Round Cavity, Blind or Through Hole
58. Elastics StrainStretching and CompressionWithin The Elastic Limit of a Material

62. Stretch or CompressionUniform Cross-sectionTwo Materials
63. Two Material Strain Answers
64. Hoop Stress & Expansion
65. Leader Pin Bend with 1, 2, or 3 Moving PlatesEnter your Known Weight, or use the Plate Weight Estimator
66. Moment of Inertia and other Properties of Geometric Shapes Moment of inertia, section modulus, radius of gyration, and area are all used in the calculations of strength of materials. Just enter your known dimension for one of the ten standard shapes to get the values you need. Most values are sent to the appropriate text boxes automatically.
67. Mold Plate Distortion Have you ever seen a mold with “A” side action fail to keep the slides fully closed during injection? You don’t have to experience this again if you size the plate correctly the first time. Both through pocket and blind pocket options.
68. Surface Finish Comparisons
69. SPI/SPE Finish Comparison
70. Surface Roughness Comparison
71. Thermal Considerations
72. Chiller Tonnage, Material Per Hour, Water Requirements, and BTU’s to Be Removed
73. Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficients and Calculations You can choose to calculate the expansion and the final size. You can also calculate what to make the initial size in order for a part to grow to the correct size after a change in temperature.
74. Thread Properties
75. Three Wire Thread Measurement You can calculate the size for measuring threads with the “three wire measurement” technique. You can calculate the largest, smallest, and best wire size to use based on the threads per inch, or the thread pitch.
76. Pipe Threads You can select N.P.T. threads, or B.S.P.T threads. Once you click on the thread size, you are presented with the tap drill size for that thread. You will get 2 answers, one for the drill size if using a pipe reamer too, or a larger size if no pipe reamer will be used.
77. Properties of Screws and Threads
78. Trigonometry
79. Chord and Segment Calculations Using the image at the right to decide, choose the 3 options to calculate the value that you need to know. You can calculate the chord, the radius, or the height of the segment, if you know the other two values.
80. Degrees, Minute, Seconds <> Decimal Degrees Most calculators include a decimal degree to degree, minute, second, calculator. We included one here so that you have another source for when your calculator batteries lose their charge.
81. Right Angle Trig Choose any two values that you know, from the list, and press Calculate to get the other 3 values. The 90º corner is constant. You can enter your angle in decimals degrees or degrees, minutes, seconds.
82. Roll Dimensions Using a roll, dowel pin, or gage pin to measure angles is very common in mold and tool making. There are two choices available to represent the orientation of the angle. Just enter the angle, the height to the theoretical sharp corner, and the pin or roll diameter, press calculate, and the height over the roll is calculated for you. No more using charts and cheat sheets.
83. Roll Dimensions
84. Sine Plate Gage Block Calculator
85. Tooling Ball Calculator The tooling ball is often used for measuring the size of cone shaped holes. You can calculate how much the ball sits above or below datum surface S. An answer with a minus value indicates that the ball is below the surface. The tangent diameter is given so you can tell if the angle surface is large enough for the ball to rest tangent to the angle.
86. Unscrewing Mold Worksheet
87. Venting Considerations
88. Table of Typical Vent Depths
89. A Vent Width Calculator Of course, it’s still up to you to put the vents in the right spot. But this calculator tells you the minimum vent width you need to prevent burning” of the plastic material. It’s usually better to have more vents, as long as the structural integrity of the core and cavity are not compromised.
