ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring the average cell size of a plastic foam structure continuously emerging from a production extrusion source which include means and process steps for magnifying an image of an area of a cross-section of said foam structure, developing said image and comparing the cell size of the image with a known standard and controlling production process parameters to obtain a foam structure of predetermined average cell size.
