The shear level was increased during twin screw extrusion of PVC at different melt temperatures by inserting a hole plate in front of the screw tips. The variation of shear level did not significantly affect the capillary pressure in capillary viscometry at 135°C. However, the falling weight impact strength was markedly influenced. In internal water pressure tests at 60°C premature failure was obtained for pipes extruded at 198°C at the highest shear level.
