-For reasons of economy the development of new recipes in the area of polymer processing is usually carried out on laboratory machines. Only once an appropriate product quality has been attained the process transfer to the production machine is initiated. By reason of this two-tiered approach the transfer of processes and operating points in polymer processing assumes central importance. To minimize the risk of quality loss during the scale-up, the adoption of model laws appears to be expedient. These model laws rest upon the foundations of the similarity theory [1].+For reasons of economy the development of new recipes in the area of polymer processing is usually carried out on laboratory machines.

-For the calculation of the pressure-throughput behavior and the machine performance in the case of co-rotating twin screw extruders it is furthermore crucial to have knowledge of the velocity profile of the polymer melt in the screw channel. To obtain identical flow conditions in both the model design and the main design, it is therefore obvious to postulate invariance of the standardized velocity profile in the channel. This postulation corresponds, as shown by Mayer [2], with the postulation made by Potente [3] for a constant dimensionless pressure gradient for both machines. As furthermore demonstrated by Potente [3], a constant dimensionless pressure gradient can only be realized under the condition of a constant helix angle $\varphi_s$.+For the calculation of the pressure-throughput behavior and the machine performance in the case of co-rotating twin screw extruders it is furthermore crucial to have knowledge of the velocity profile of the polymer melt in the screw channel.

-Because of the invariance of the flight depth exponent at a given geometry, the principle of total energetic similarity generally cannot be realized for co-rotating twin screw extruders. By choosing appropriate boundary conditions, however, it is possible to obtain partial energetic similarity.
