Abstract	The effect of fibre concentration, temperature and mould thickness on tensile strength of single- and double-gated injection-moulded polypropylene copolymer reinforced with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt% short glass fibre was studied at a fixed strain-rate of 7.58 × 10$^{−3}$ s$^{−1}$ between 23 and 100 °C. It was found that tensile strength of single-gated mouldings, σ$_{c}$, increased with increasing volume fraction of fibres, ϕ$_{f}$ in a nonlinear manner and decreased with increasing temperature in a linear manner. However, for ϕ$_{f}$ values in the range 0–10% a simple additive rule-of-mixtures adequately described the variation of σ$_{c}$ with ϕ$_{f}$ over the entire temperature range 23–100 °C studied here. Tensile strength of double-gated mouldings like their single-gated counterparts decreased linearly with increasing temperature. The presence of weldlines significantly reduced tensile strength of double-gated composite mouldings but had little effect on tensile strength of the matrix. Weldline integrity factor, F $_{σ}$, defined as weldline strength divided by unweld strength, decreased with increasing ϕ$_{f}$ but increased with increasing temperature. A linear dependence was found between F $_{σ}$ and temperature. Mould thickness had no significant effect upon weld and unweld tensile strengths and consequently had no significant effect upon weldline integrity factor.
