The SPE Extrusion Division championed this technical volume written and approved by extrusion industry experts from a cross-section of companies. The practical, yet comprehensive SPE Guide focuses on understanding the fundamental factors of extrusion technology, processes, applications and troubleshooting. It offers a wide breadth of topics, technical know-how and years of experience from qualified authors. Troubleshooting tables are included at the end of each chapter, and an Author Appendix showcases the talents and background of the contributors. Content will benefit operators, engineers, management, technical reps and university students. The SPE Guide was technically edited by SPE Fellows John Vlachopoulos and John R. Wagner, Jr.. Referred to as the "Extruder's Bible", several hundred copies have been sold.

"This book contains a wealth of extrusion facts covering the full range from fundamentals to modern technological advances, and has numerous practaical troubleshooting hints fro everday problems. No person involved in extrusion practice should be without it" ... John Vlachopoulos

"The SPE guide provides insight into many extrusion systems and their downstream processes. The equations, with worked-out examples, along with the troubleshooting guides, are useful in characterizing processes, diagnosing problems and prescribing remedies" ... John R. Wagner, Jr.
