Air trap
An air trap is an air or gas bubble that has been trapped by converging flow fronts or trapped against the cavity wall. This causes a surface blemish on the part. Air traps can be prevented by changing the gate location or part thickness. Good practise is to place vents in the mould at the air trap location.
