    This document provides instructions for conducting a machine consistency test to evaluate the performance of an injection molding machine. It involves recording the fill time and pressure for 10 normal shots and 10 air shots and calculating the average for each. The consistency percentage is then determined and compared to thresholds to assess if the machine can hold consistent fill conditions and whether repair may be needed.

    RULE OF THUMB:
    95% or better good for precision molding
    90-95% good for commercial molding but will need repair
    Less than 90% cannot hold consistant fill or packing conditions
    - replace check ring
    - check switch-over valve
    l shot" is injecting into a mold.
    hot" is injecting the plastic under the same settings into the air.
