Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite material through a wet compression molding (WCM) process is disclosed. The internal pressure of a mold is controlled so that productivity may be improved due to process automation through application of a resin using a robot. Quality of the composite material may be improved due to minimization of deformation of a foam core through control of the internal pressure of the mold.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for automatically measuring the viscosity of a sample liquid is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a plurality of viscosimeter tubes mounted in a constant temperature bath, a plurality of vessels adapted for containing the sample liquid, a valve system for controlling the injection and the removal of the sample liquid into and from the viscosimeter tubes and the ascent and descent of the sample liquid in the viscosimeter tubes, a driving circuitry for the valve system, a photosensing device for sensing the meniscus of the liquid at predetermined indication marks of the viscosimeter tubes and a system of measuring the flow time of the sample liquid between two predetermined marks and computing the viscosity of the liquid based on the measured flow time.
