An infrared temperature sensor has been used to provide real time quantification of the thermal homogeneity of polymer extrusion. The non‐intrusive sensor was located in the barrel of a single screw extruder, positioned such that it provided a measurement of melt temperature in the channel of the metering section of the extruder screw. The rapid response of the technique enabled melt temperature within...
