Books by Beaumont

John Beaumont, president of Beaumont Technologies Inc., continually strives to enhance the knowledge of practical polymer characteristics, proper part and mold design, and the successful implementation of CAE mold filling simulation within the plastics industry. To help achieve his efforts, John has undertaken the task of both co-authoring and authoring several books published by Hanser Gardner Publications discussing those various topics.

For the first time, both the art and science of designing runners and gates are presented in Runner and Gating Design Handbook in a concise format that highlights all critical issues. This first-of-its-kind processing handbook is intended to provide the reader a better understanding of the rheological properties of polymer melt and melt delivery systems consisting of nozzle, sprue, runner and gate. Also explained in a clear manner are shear-induced melt variations, key differences between hot and cold runner molds, gating locations and molding problems related to gates and runners. This book provides a valuable resource for proper design and troubleshooting techniques for both hot and cold runner systems, as well as methods to successfully solve engineering and processing issues.

The book is a must for all designers, tool makers and molders. It will prove extremely valuable to anyone wishing to further enhance his or her plastics engineering knowledge. Full color 3D graphics, illustrations and photographs, as well as charts, checklists and troubleshooting guides complete this handbook.

Injection Molding Handbook serves as an introductory textbook for students getting acquainted with injection molding. It presents a thorough, up-to-date view of injection molding processing equipment and techniques. It also includes sufficient related fundamental information on chemistry, physics, material science, and process engineering.

The handbook was written to serve engineers, professionals and others involved with this important industry sector. It not only covers the injection molding machine and process, but also includes the topics that directly affect the injection molding process, such as materials, process control, simulation, design and troubleshooting. The handbook presents a well-rounded overview of the underlying theory and physics that control the various injection molding processes without loosing the practical flavor that governs the manuscript between its covers. The carefully chosen set of authors includes experts in the field, practitioners and researchers in both industry and academia.
