=('Sample Dataset'!C5*'Sample Dataset'!C6)+'Sample Dataset'!C7- Press the Enter key.
- Click on cell C8 and insert the formula to calculate the total injection time.
=ABS((C7/20)-(0.5*'Sample Dataset'!C8))+'Sample Dataset'!C9- Press the Enter key.
Method 3 – Calculate Total Melting / Charging Time
- Click on cell C11 first.
- Insert the following formula and hit the Enter key.
='Sample Dataset'!C12/'Sample Dataset'!C13
Get the total charging time.
Method 4 – Calculate Total Cooling Time
- First and foremost, click on cell C12.
- Insert the formula below.
=INDEX('Cooling Time Table'!B4:H16,MATCH(Calculator!C5,'Cooling Time Table'!B4:B16,0),MATCH(C6,'Cooling Time Table'!B5:H5,0))- Hit the Enter key.

where did you get the data for cooling times?
Hello, PJ!
Hope you are doing well. Thank you for your query.
Cooling time mainly refers to the time elapsed from the end of holding pressure to the opening of the mold. This value depends on various factors like the wall thickness, product shape, mold temperature, melt properties, etc. To get a better product, the cooling time should be as low as possible.
You can search google thoroughly or visit industrial yards to learn about the actual cooling time values.
