    Abstract
    The development and validation of a sensor for extrusion melt temperature field measurement is described. A grid of opposing thermocouple wires was constructed and held in position by a supporting frame. Wires were joined together at crossing points to form thermocouple junctions, which were computer monitored. The mesh was used to monitor melt temperature fields during single screw extrusion at the die entrance. Design and construction of the mesh is described in addition to experimental optimization of wire diameter and junction forming. Calibration of the sensor and potential measurement errors including shear heating effects are discussed. Initial results from single screw extrusion are presented for a commercial grade of low density polyethylene using five- and seven-junction thermocouple meshes. The dependence of melt temperature profile on screw speed is illustrated. At low screw speeds melt temperature profiles were flat in shape and higher than set wall temperatures. At higher screw speeds the profiles became more pointed in shape. Use of higher resolution sensors exposed more complex temperature profiles with shoulder regions.
